A nearly full field of golfers enjoyed the challenge of the beautiful golf course at Ruffled Feathers – made all the more enticing by the ideal weather.  Lunch was served beforehand, and our laid-back and fun 19th Hole Party afterward provided the perfect opportunity to mingle and reflect on the day, while partaking of cocktails and a wide variety of delicious hors d’oeuvres and small-plate fare.

A highlight of the evening was the Live Auction, where our Auctioneer Bart Darfler auctioned off fabulous items, such as first-row, 30-yard line seats for the Bears vs. Broncos game, and opportunities to play some of the nation’s most prestigious golf courses, including Baltusrol, The Country Club at Muirfield, The Dunes Club and Rich Harvest.  The auction created a great deal of excitement as our generous guests bid for these generously donated prizes.

We are delighted to report that the 2007 Golf Outing raised a record amount of money for the programs and services provided by Sharing Connections.  Because of the generosity of our sponsors, donors and guests, economically disadvantaged families throughout the Chicago land area will have beds to sleep in, couches to rest upon, and tables to gather around for dinner at the end of a long day.

We at Sharing Connections are tremendously grateful to our Sponsors for the golf outing (please see our complete list to the right).

We also gratefully acknowledge our staff and the tireless Volunteers who donated their time to help with the event.  We couldn’t have done it without you!

We have already begun thinking about next year’s outing.  Please don’t hesitate to contact us with your questions about sponsorship or participation opportunities.  Our annual golf outing is a great, fun way to help people in need!
