Silver Cross Foundation Introduces Pickleball to 33rd Annual Charity Golf Classic

The Silver Cross Foundation will hold its Annual Charity Golf Classic, presented by Superior Air-Ground Ambulance Service, on Monday, June 24, 2024, at Crystal Tree Golf & Country Club in Orland Park.

The fundraiser benefits the greatest needs at Silver Cross Hospital, allowing staff to advance with new facilities, programs, and technology, including the addition of a new outpatient cardiac catheterization suite.

An afternoon Pickleball Tournament, along with the golf outing, will allow Silver Cross to welcome over 300 individuals. Pickleball pairs play at least four games in a round-robin format followed by bracket play with cash prizes for the top three teams.

Golfers participate in an 18-hole morning or afternoon scramble that includes a forecaddie and cart and prizes for the top three foursome scores. Contest holes include: Longest Drive; $10,000 Hole-In-One; Split the Pot/Closest to the Pin; Hole-In-One Car Contest, courtesy of D’Arcy Buick-GMC; and Hole-In-One Diamond Earrings Contest, courtesy of David Nelson Jewelry.

All participation includes:

• Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Cocktails - on and off the course/court
  
• Participant gifts, plus golf balls or pickleballs
  
• Reception & Awards program honoring PDM Plumbing, Heating and Cooling with the 2024 Silver Cross Corporate Citizen Award
