Golfers unite to support COVID-19 relief

By Michelle Dellinger

The Edward Foundation raised $403,000 at its 27th annual Charity Golf Tournament on August 31 at Cog Hill Golf and Country Club in Palos Park—a historic public club with four challenging courses, including the storied shot-maker Dubsdread. More than 300 golfers donated funds through sponsorships, donations, raffles, and games, including a Million Dollar Shoot Out where three golfers were randomly selected to attempt a hole in one for $1 million. ABC-7’s sports anchor and reporter Dionne Miller was the event’s celebrity guest.

After enjoying unlimited food and drinks on the courses, the winning team on Cog Hill’s Dubsdread course included Andrew Baasen, Justin Kochen, Teresa McDaniel, and Charles Glaser. The winning team on Cog Hill’s Course No. 1 included Steve Campanella, Kevin Kethcart, Mike Minetti, and Steve Moudry.

All proceeds from the golf outing and gala this year will be directed to Edward Foundation’s COVID-19 Relief Fund, which supports financial needs due to the pandemic—including personal protective equipment and screening stations to keep patients, physicians, and staff safe.
