Thanks for Chipping In

This year’s CHIP in for Hunger event featured 102 golfers enjoying a picture-perfect day at the Elgin Country Club. Thanks to our generous sponsors, donors, golfers, and volunteers, we raised over $48,000 for the operations of Food for Greater Elgin.

The event was led by presenting sponsors, the Schrieber group/Baird Private Wealth Management and Heritage-Crystal Clean, both long-time supporters of our pantry. The planning team was led by Mike Kroyer and Sara Habberfield.  

Congratulations to the foursome with the lowest score, John McGowan, Katie McGowan, Kyle Herdt, and TJ Katherineberg!
