One of the most anticipated traditions of the Chicagoland Chamber’s annual Golf Classic is back.

Presented by Ferrara, the Helicopter Golf Ball Drop returns to The Glen Club on Tuesday, August 25, giving participants the chance to win incredible prizes while supporting the Chamber’s mission. Whether you’re joining us on the course or cheering from afar, anyone can enter for a chance to take home a grand prize.

How It Works

Before the event, participants purchase numbered golf balls that will be dropped from a helicopter onto a designated target at approximately 5 p.m. during the Golf Classic. The ball that lands closest to the pin wins.

Best of all, you do not need to attend the Golf Classic to participate or win. The winning ball will be announced during the Awards Reception following the tournament.

Purchase your golf balls today.
