New prizes as early bird discount extended for West Suburban Community Pantry golf outing
As contests, prizes and amenities grow, the West Suburban Community Pantry has extended the early bird registration to join their 11th annual charity golf outing on Tuesday, June 25, at Seven Bridges Golf Club in Woodridge.
The event, sponsored in part by Ann and Victor Pokorny Memorial Fund and Old National Bank, will support the pantry’s efforts to end hunger in DuPage and Will counties through on-site, mobile, virtual food pantries and supportive services to improve the quality of life for individuals, families, and seniors in need.
“We are so excited to have our golfers and community partners come out and support the pantry through our golf outing because every dollar raised directly supports our food programs and supportive care,” said Suzanne Armato, executive director. “We continue to see more and more families and neighbors coming to the pantry as they struggle to make ends meet. We count on this event to help us provide the critical support to help them survive and thrive.”
Dubbed “On Par in Paradise,” this year’s outing will include an afternoon of fun and camaraderie, with games including Mega Putt, multiple hole-in-one opportunities with golf resort vacation prize packages on both coasts, Hawaii and Mexico. Additional games include Closest to the Pin, Golf Ball Launcher, Longest Drive, Longest Drive with a Marshmallow, as well as first- to fourth-place winners overall, with prizes including foursomes at Salt Creek and Severn Bridges courses as well as gift packages.
In addition to games, the event also will feature Ike & Oak Beer Tastings and the 10th Hole refreshment stand with Tito’s beverages. Raffle prizes include Cubs/Cards baseball tickets, a 55-inch Smart TV, beer, wine and beverage gift package, and a private wine tasting for 12.
After golf, participants can enjoy the chance to meet naturalist Kim White and her parrot Sam during cocktail as well as calypso, Latin and Caribbean steel drum music offered by Callaloo during the dinner hour. Anyone not golfing may join for cocktails and dinner only for a reduced ticket price. Golfers and guests are invited to wear course-appropriate tropical attire.
Beginning with golfer check-in and putting green access at noon, the shotgun start will be at 1 p.m. with cocktails, program, dinner and awards to be held at 5:30 p.m.
Golfer registration includes green fees for 18 holes with carts, boxed lunch, drinks, dinner, contests, prizes, and more. Early bird golf registration ends Friday, June 7.
