Chicagoland's Elite Private Catholic Elementary School Hosts Golf Charity Event

LAKE FOREST, Ill. - Sept. 18, 2017 - PRLog -- Each year, the faculty and staff at East Lake Academy puts together the Family & Friends Golf Outing event to provide scholarships to children of military families who want to attend the school. During the 2016 event, East Lake Academy raised more than $100,000, which covered not only scholarships, but also some of the operational costs for that school year.

The 2017 Annual Family & Friends Golf Outing was held at Deerpath Golf Course in Lake Forest, Illinois on August 25,2017. Registration opened at 7:30am and the event began at 8am. Like the 2016 event, East Lake Academy is pleased to announce that they achieved nearly 100% participation from its school families for this event. As always, local businesses sponsored the event. Some of these included Loeber Motors, First American Bank, Credit Plus, Lindemann Chimney Company, and more.

For 15 years, this event has helped dozens of families across the area realize their goals of sending their children to one of the most prestigious and highly-ranked private elementary schools in the Chicago area. The 2018 event will be held in the summer, and East Lake Academy welcomes anyone who would like to participate, whether they want to golf, sponsor, volunteer, or simply donate to the cause.

This is only one of the many events held by East Lake Academy each year. Galas, annual fundraisers, and more are all part of the East Lake tradition, and they help generate funds not only for the school, but also for mission trips abroad to share the Good Word and provide much-needed relief in third-world countries. East Lake Academy believes these missions are an important part of their teaching elementary-aged children to care for others and share the Word of God with everyone.
