On Monday, July 20, friends, family, sponsors, vendors, restaurant partners, and community supporters gathered at Cog Hill Golf & Country Club for the long-awaited return of the Stefani’s Children’s Foundation Golf Outing. After several years away, it was incredibly meaningful to bring this cherished tradition back—and thanks to the overwhelming support of everyone involved, it was a truly unforgettable day.
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our Presenting Sponsors, Mark Hoplamazian and Handshake Strategies, as well as our Gold Sponsor, United Airlines, for their generous support and commitment to helping make this event possible. Their partnership plays a vital role in helping Stefani’s Children’s Foundation continue its mission of supporting children, families, and community organizations throughout Chicagoland.
Guests enjoyed a full day of golf, camaraderie, and hospitality, followed by an incredible dinner reception showcasing the best of Stefani Restaurant Group. From Tavern on Rush’s carving station and Stefani Prime’s signature cheese wheel risotto to Tuscany’s fresh pasta station, sushi, and an array of shared antipasti and appetizers, the evening was a true celebration of great food and great company—all in support of an even greater cause.
Founded in 1988, Stefani’s Children’s Foundation has spent decades bringing people together to give back to the Chicago community, supporting organizations focused on pediatric healthcare, youth development, education, family assistance, and community outreach. The return of the Foundation’s signature golf outing marks the continuation of that legacy and the opportunity to make an even greater impact in the years ahead.
To everyone who attended, sponsored, donated, volunteered, contributed auction items, or helped behind the scenes—thank you. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity, enthusiasm, and belief in our mission. Your support made the return of this event an overwhelming success, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
We are thrilled to have brought this Stefani family tradition back, and we’re already looking forward to making next year’s outing even bigger and better. Thank you for helping us continue the Foundation’s mission of supporting children, families, and community organizations across Chicagoland.
