Organizers of the 2022 Chicagoland Travel Industry & Hospitality Golf Outing have donated $7,500 to Make-A-Wish Illinois, a non-profit charity that helps to “create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.”
The money was raised primarily by silent and live auctions of travel prizes after the golf outing dinner and raffle. Auction items were supplied by industry partners with a portion of the proceeds going to Make-A-Wish. The 2021 outing raised $5,000 for Make-A-Wish.
This year’s event took place July 18 at Prairie Landing Golf Club in West Chicago, Ill. About 112 played in the 18-hole golf scramble and were joined by another 44 attendees for the after-golf cocktails, buffet dinner, and the raffle and live auction. The event is chaired by Dan Trankina, business development manager for Pleasant Holidays | Journese.
