Join us for a golf "scramble" for a good cause!  We are getting out on the course for the afternoon to have fun and to raise money for the Great Chicago Food Depository!

What is a "scramble," you ask?  It's a format played in teams of four who play for one score; you're all in it together, so even if you are not a golf pro or even someone who golfs regularly, you've got a team at your back!  It’s about fun, laughter, and philanthropy.

In order to ensure all goes smoothly on the course, we have pre-booked tee times at Robert A. Black Golf Course that will allow for 24 participants.  With a limited number of spots, it will be a first come, first in sign-up event!  You MUST pre-register.  The cost for play is $27 and you must pay at the time of registration.  Your payment will cover your fees for the course and then we will be accepting check donations for the Greater Chicago Food Depository on site. 

After the event, feel free to join us at Mullens Sports Bar and Grill (7301 N. Western Avenue, Chicago, IL) for awards (we'll cover the appetizers).

Help us continue making a difference in the fight against hunger while having fun. We hope to see you there!

Please note that your registration is incomplete and your spot will not be saved until you complete the process by submitting your payment here.
