The stakes are high and valuable prizes are up for grabs at the Chamber’s highly anticipated annual Golf Classic, set to take place on Tuesday, August 27, at The Glen Club in Glenview. This event not only promises a full day of exceptional golfing and networking, but there’s also the memorable Helicopter Golf Ball Drop presented by Grubhub.
In this part of the day, participants have the opportunity to purchase numbered golf balls prior to the event. These balls will then be dropped from a helicopter onto a designated target at approximately 5 p.m. on the day of the Classic. The ball that lands closest to the pin wins the grand prize.
How to Participate
Joining the raffle is simple and accessible to everyone. Participants can buy one golf ball for $10 or three for $20. Importantly, participants do not need to be present at the Golf Classic to win, making it a perfect opportunity for anyone to get involved. After the drop, the winner will be announced during the Awards Reception.
