Lemont Mayor Holds Annual Drive For Charity

LEMONT, IL — Mayor John Egofske will continue the annual tradition of the Mayor’s Drive for Charity, where profits from the outing are distributed to local charity organizations through an application process. The outing will be held on Thursday, May 10, at Ruffled Feathers Golf Club with a 1:30 p.m. shotgun start.

The village said the outing was moved to May in hopes to have warmer weather, and with that, the morning tee time was eliminated to offset the increased course fee of the May date.

“I am looking forward to another successful golf outing to raise funds for organizations in our community that will go back to benefit those in need in our community,” Mayor Egofske said in a release. "There are so many people in our village that dedicate their time and talent to help others. It’s only through the generosity of our golfers, sponsors and raffle donors that make this event a success."

According to the village, the outing has raised over $400,000 since its inception.

The Mayor’s Drive for Charity foursomes usually fills quickly with a maximum of 144 golfers. Green fees are
$155 per player or $620 per foursome. This includes 18 holes of golf with a cart, free use of the driving
range for two hours prior to the 1:30 p.m. start time, a box lunch beginning at noon, and a buffet dinner
following the completion of the outing. Prizes, special holes and raffles are also part of the fun.

Varioussponsorships are available and raffle items are most welcomed. Information and the registration form and charity fund application are available on the village website.
