Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation hosted its annual Golf for the Bear event on a warm, sunny Monday at Kemper Lakes Golf Club in Kildeer, Illinois. A shotgun start sent golfers off to begin an 18-hole scramble. Contest holes were sprinkled throughout the course, including an “out-drive the survivor” contest. After a beautiful day on the course, attendees enjoyed a cocktail reception followed by dinner. The day concluded with an awards ceremony, raffle prize announcements, and a live auction. Throughout the years, Bear Necessities’ Golf for the Bear alone has raised over a million dollars in the fight to end Pediatric Cancer!
