St. Coletta’s of Illinois is excited to announce that registration is now open for the 37th Annual Kennedy Golf Outing, taking place Monday, August 17, 2026, at Crystal Tree Golf & Country Club.

Golfers, sponsors and community supporters are invited to tee off for a day of friendly competition, connection and purpose — all while helping children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities reach their full potential. This beloved annual event brings the community together to drive possibility through education, vocational training, residential support and life-enriching programs at St. Coletta’s.

“Every year, the Kennedy Golf Outing reminds us of the incredible impact a caring community can make,” said Heather Benedick. “The support generated through this event helps create opportunities for independence, inclusion and meaningful lives for the individuals we serve. We’re thrilled to officially open registration and invite everyone to join us this August.”

Golfers will enjoy a premier experience at Crystal Tree, including 18 holes of championship golf, lunch, cocktails and dinner, on-course contests, raffles, refreshments and more.
