Thank you to everyone who made this year’s Valley Lodge Tavern Charity Golf Outing such a success! ⛳
We could not have asked for a better day. Perfect weather, great vibes, and an incredible turnout with 120 people, our biggest outing yet!!
Because of everyone who golfed, sponsored, donated, volunteered, bought raffle tickets, joined the after-party, and helped make the day happen, we were able to raise over $12,000 for First Tee Greater Chicago.
We’re so grateful for another incredible year and already looking forward to making next year’s outing even better.
