With more than 200 real estate and construction industry professionals in attendance and 54 participating foursomes, the event raised $405,000 for four Chicagoland charities: HIRE360, SOS Children’s Villages Illinois, Saturday Place and Great Lakes Adaptive Sports Association (GLASA).
Over the past 19 years, the Related Midwest/Lendlease Annual Charity Golf Classic has come together to fundraise for charitable causes in the greater Chicago area.
