Oak Lawn Chamber of Commerce Holds Successful Golf Outing (Oak Lawn, IL) — On Wednesday, August 30th, the Oak Lawn Chamber of Commerce held its annual Golf Outing which is the Chamber’s largest fundraiser. This event was rescheduled after a weather delay on July 12th, 2023. We would like to extend our sincere thank you to this year’s Major Sponsor, Oak Lawn Bank and Trust. Oak Lawn Bank & Trust has been this event’s Major Sponsor since 2017 and have donated $15,000 in total to the Oak Lawn Chamber of Commerce. One hundred sixteen golfers registered to enjoy the links at Stony Creek Golf Course in Oak Lawn.
The day began with a BBQ lunch & networking followed by a shotgun start at 1:00 PM. Lunch was sponsored by Advocate Christ Medical Center, Penny Lane Schools, Old National Bank & CHSD 218. Our cart sponsor this year was Republic Bank. On the course, golfers were treated to four “watering holes” courtesy of Hilton Chicago/Oak Lawn, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Napleton Ford, Sports Clips and Bank Financial. After a sunny day on the course, golfers came back to the clubhouse for cocktails sponsored by Webb Chevy & Burke Orthodontics. Dinner was an onsite Taquiza provided by Los Friends and sponsored by Kerlin Walsh Law, Moraine Valley Community College, Complete Vision Care, Ridgeland School District 122, Park Lawn, Rosine Williams – New York Life, THREE20 Media and the Village of Oak Lawn. Dessert was generously donated by Nothing Bundt Cakes.
The Chamber received overwhelming support from its members and many Oak Lawn businesses in the form of sponsorships, gift certificates and raffles. We had 47 Hole Sponsors this year which provided a great opportunity to network with each and every golfer.
The foursome with the Low Gross score included Paul Mallo, Ralph Soch, Claire Henning & Siobain Heston representing the Village of Oak Lawn. The foursome with the Low Net score included Mike Flerick, Paul Flerick, Steve Flerick & Joe Loyd representing Insperity. Each foursome was awarded a traveling trophy, and a gift certificate for complimentary golf donated by Stony Creek and gift certificates donated by Jenny’s Steak House & Pub and Stacked.
Angeline Lalla & Todd Mallo won Longest Drive. Mike Hartman got Closest to the Pin. Jimmy Sexton won for Longest Putt. Prizes for the on-course golf contests were gift certificates donated by Los Friends.
