Charity Golf Tournaments and Golf Tournament Planning

The purpose of Diveheart is to provide and support educational SCUBA diving and snorkeling experience programs that are open to any child, adult, or veteran with a disability with the hope of providing both physical and psychological therapeutic value to that person.

It is the “CAN DO” spirit that Diveheart hopes to instill in all its participants by giving them the confidence and independence that allows them to face their own life challenges and overcome barriers that before might have seemed insurmountable.

Through SCUBA diving, the Diveheart Foundation supports and facilitates programs that teach children and adults with disabilities to fly. Thanks to the wonder of the water column, the oceans and lakes of the world become the forgiving weightless environment of outer space, giving perfect buoyancy to a child or adult who would otherwise struggle on land.

Proceeds from the event will help fund programs and purchase gear to assist children, adults and veterans with disabilities to build self-confidence through the exciting sport of Scuba Diving.

Every year, Stone Design hosts a golf outing to both honor George Lockerbie’s (Founder of Stone Design) memory and raise money for Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago to combat the horrible disease known as liver cancer. Everyone that attends gets a prize. I understand that because it’s on a Tuesday, it can be difficult to get out of work. That being said, please consider sponsoring a hole. We welcome any donation, though, so please don’t feel locked in, or like you cannot send a donation because it does not fall neatly into our sponsorship. I really hope to see you there! This truly is an exciting, fun filled day!

At PACTT, we believe that individuals with autism have a basic human right to meaningful employment and personal fulfillment. They have a right to choice in regard to where they live and work. When someone with autism is included in the fabric of a neighborhood, that person benefits, but so does the community at large. Interaction with people who are different opens new perspectives on our common humanity.

Please join us by supporting the 10th Annual PACTT Golf Classic and our mission to serve individuals with autism.

From swimming to fishing to zip-lining, all campers get to experience the fun activities of camp, while in a safe and medically monitored setting. Please consider helping us continue to provide our campers with an invaluable experience by joining us or considering sponsoring our 11th Annual Golf Outing!

Special Recipients for this event will be Equestrian Connection, Foundation for Retinal Research, Pediatric-Gastrointestinal Research Foundation at the University of Chicago Hospital, and the National Stuttering Association. This annual event has featured many media and sports celebrities such as Jeremy Roenick, Mark Giangreco, Joe Girardi, Neil Funk, Sarah Kustok, John Paxson, Bill Wennington and Eric Ferguson & Kathy Hart of the The Mix 101.9FM.

The outing is held at the exclusive Twin Orchard Country Club in Long Grove, Illinois. This private country club features two 18-hole courses, carved out of Long Grove’s beautiful wooded landscape, and was designed by local architect C.D. Wagstaff. In addition to the 18-hole course, Twin Orchards also provides four championship clay tennis courts. The tennis tournament is in conjunction with MidTown Athletic Club.

From the inception of SKNI outing, the event has been sold out. The success of this event allows us to continue to contribute funds to the charitable organizations that have come to rely on SKN to fund programs and research that helps children and young adults with special needs.

charity dedicated solely to helping the world’s children

successfully navigate the very difficult grief process

associated with death, divorce, deployment of a family

member, incarceration of a loved one, a catastrophic

community event, or any of a multitude of significant

event traumas. And, while a few children are resilient,

most do not bounce back without guidance and support.

Since its inception, Rainbows has sustained over

2.5 million children in the wake of their personal or

community tragedies through our programs and services.

The Rainbows message is simple, while the pain of loss

cannot be avoided…it doesn’t need to hurt forever.

your support of our 23rd Annual Golf Classic will

ensure that Rainbows will be able to guide the next

generation of kids through life’s storms.
