The 30th annual “Christmas Golf in September” event tees-off on Wednesday, September 18, at Oak Springs Golf Course. This fundraiser for Christmas Day, Inc., begins with lunch at 11 a.m., a shotgun start at noon, and concludes with dinner at 5 p.m. This year marks the 30th Anniversary for Christmas Day, Inc. A mission committee from a local church founded Christmas Day, Inc., in 1994.
Volunteers for Christmas Day, Inc., provide a complete holiday dinner to individuals who are home alone or in need on December 25. There is no charge for the dinner, and it is offered at different sites, including Bourbonnais, Bradley, Grant Park, Manteno, Momence, Kankakee (two locations), St. Anne, Sun River Terrace, and Pembroke.
Honorary Chair for this year’s event is Kathy Wade, who has been a volunteer with Christmas Day, Inc., since 2006 and the recording secretary for the past 13 years.
Tickets for golf and dinner are $100 per person, with dinner only at $25 per person. A variety of sponsorship opportunities, from title sponsor to door prizes, are available. The golf event is the sole source of funding for the project.
