Olivia Reardon is the daughter of Kevin Reardon, director of golf at Providence Country Club. On November 30, 2021, she was taken to the hospital and rushed into emergency surgery with a mass behind her right eye. This mass was found to be rhabdomyosarcoma. Olivia is currently undergoing a chemotherapy regimen with proton radiation treatments at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. In continued support of Kevin, Christina and Olivia, McConnell Golf plans to do a golf marathon with various fundraising initiatives at each property in late May to benefit the family, St. Jude and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Stay tuned for more updates from your club and follow Olivia’s journey on social media. We cannot thank the members and staff at Providence Country Club enough for their overwhelming support the last 3-4 months.

All donations going back to the OliviaStrong Foundation, Inc. Money raised will help with expenses for Kevin and Christina in addition to them making donations on Olivia’s behalf to St. Jude’s Children's Research Hospital and Make-A-Wish Foundation.
