Alicia's House Food Pantry Annual Celebrity Charity Golf Classic in Crete

Alicia's House Food Pantry Annual Celebrity Charity Golf Classic

It’s hard to believe that it is that time of year again. On September 15th we will celebrate our 10th Annual Alicia’s House Celebrity Golf Outing, at Lincolnshire Country Club (390 East Richton Rd., Crete, Illinois), followed by a fabulous dinner and a huge silent and live auction.


Last September (2011) Alicia’s House Food Pantry closed out their week of celebrity charity events with donations totaling over fifty thousand dollars to help feed the needy. The week of fundraising started out with Actor/Director/Humanitarian Scott L. Schwartz returning to WGN for an interview, making a first time appearance on NBC’s “The Talk” and visiting the South Chicago Heights Fire Department in Steger, IL. Later in the week Milt Pappas (Legendary All Star Chicago Cubs Pitcher) joined Kevin “The Butcher” Hughes and Scott L. Schwartz at Rasberry’s Pancake House for “Tip A Star” and Aurelio’s Pizza.

The week of charity events ended at Lincolnshire Country Club for a day of golfing with the stars, dinner and silent auction. Some of the silent auction items included: Michael Jordan autographed picture, Mickey Mantle autographed baseball, Derek Jeter autographed picture, Michelle Monroe handbag, Other celebrity supporters included: Yoko Ono, The Chicago Cubs, White Sox, Bulls, Blackhawks and Bears. Top sponsors included: Goldie’s Auto Body (Mechanical & Towing) in Beecher, Aurelio’s Pizza (Crete), Desiderio Landscaping, Enterprise, Quality Inn (Bradley), Country Financial (Steger), Thrivent Financial for Lutheran and Winpak Portion Packaging.

Thanks to our supporters, in 2011 Alicia’s House fed 4728 families, 17,616 people, and distributed 194,450 pounds of food. This year with our economy the way it is, we have seen an increase of over 28% in the amount of individuals we are helping. Alicia’s House is totally supported by donations from individuals, businesses, and our various fundraisers. All of the money raised goes directly to feed the hungry and run the pantry; no one at Alicia’s House is paid.

It is our mission to ensure that our quality program continues to make a difference in the lives of people we serve. To maintain this caliber of service we need your help.

We would like to ask for your consideration in helping us with our event. Please consider becoming a corporate sponsor, sponsoring a hole, advertising in our program book, golfing, attending our dinner, providing an item (gift certificate or gift basket) for our live or silent auction, raffles AND/OR by providing an item for gift bags for 150 golfers.

By participating you are demonstrating a commitment to assisting less fortunate families and children in our communities. All supporters will receive exposure in all press/media/TV interviews in Chicago as well as your company name and logo on all marketing (PR Photos, Examiner, WGN, Look To The Stars, etc...).

Thank you for continued support.

If you have any question please feel free to contact me directly or you may also connect with the director of Alicia’s House Juan Hernandez (708) 946-3002.
