Willowbrook Athletic Booster Club hosts annual Golf Outing to benefit students

On June 6, the Willowbrook Athletic Booster Club hosted its annual Golf Outing.

The event took place at Western Acres Golf Course in Lombard, and about 90 people participated.

The outing featured golf (with contests for men and women such as closest to the pin and longest drive); dinner catered by Dominick’s Pizza & Pasta in Villa Park; a raffle with baskets, Cubs and White Sox tickets and gift cards; and a live auction for Cubs, White Sox and Blackhawks jerseys.

The event raised more than $5,000 from registration, raffles and contests. Another $2,000 was raised from more than 30 local businesses sponsoring a hole. Proceeds will benefit Willowbrook Athletics, including providing scholarships for college-bound seniors.

Golf Outing Chairman Kevin Kohrt said he would like to thank Willowbrook alumnus Andy Preuss, Dina Ranieri and all the Athletic Booster Club members who helped make the golf outing a success. He also would like to thank Western Acres Golf Course for hosting the event.
