Vernon Hills to Host Charity Golf Outing

Calling all golfers!

The Village of Vernon Hills will host its 25th annual charity golf tournament Aug. 17 at Vernon Hills’ nine-hole golf course.

For the second year, the event’s proceeds will benefit The Lexi Kazian Foundation — Helping From Heaven, which is dedicated to improving the comfort and quality of life for children with special needs. It provides a variety of therapy equipment, builds playgrounds for special needs children, and creates a network and provides financial support for their families at local, national and international levels. The foundation also provides resources and scholarships for families and therapists in need of financial assistance and/or community support.

Registration is $125 per person. The price includes a 12:15 p.m. lunch in the clubhouse, followed by an 18-hole golf scramble (with golf cart) beginning at 1:30 p.m. The event will conclude with a 6:30 p.m. prime rib dinner with beer and wine. Participants will receive a tee gift, beverage on the course and entry in a 50/50 raffle. Registration can be completed in the pro shop.

Business sponsors are needed for the event. For a $600 donation, a business will receive a sign announcing its sponsorship of a hole. Donors will also receive four entries to play golf in the tournament. 

Items of all values can also be donated to the event’s silent auction.

Donations and hole sponsorships are due Aug. 12. Checks payable to The Lexi Kazian Foundation can be sent to O.B. Sanders, Head Golf Professional, Vernon Hills Golf Course, 291 Evergreen Drive, Vernon Hills, IL 60061.

Silent auction donations should include the retail value. For more information, call O.B. Sanders at (847) 680-9310.
