Welcome
The first Kids’ Chance chapter was started in Georgia in 1988. Since then forty-seven states have organized Kids’ Chance programs that are actively providing need-based scholarships to the families of seriously injured workers. Kids’ Chance organizations have collectively awarded over 7,300 educational scholarships since their inception and distributed over $24,000,000 in scholarship funds to workers’ families.

  • The Illinois high school graduate who wanted to be the first in the family to obtain a college degree and now finds the college doors closed.
  • The Illinois college student who began the goal to obtain a college degree but now has no funds to complete the journey.
Annual Golf Fundraiser
Monday, October 5, 2020
On October 5, 2020 Kids’ Chance of Illinois held its Second Annual Golf Outing Fundraiser at Bolingbrook Golf Club.  The committee set a goal of $25,000 and quickly committed to having the event once again at Bolingbrook Golf Club in the western suburbs of Chicago.  Golfer registration opened in August to foursomes and twosomes and we were delighted that 72 golfers played in the outing; a great turnout for our second consecutive year. 

Thank you to our large sponsors and Bolingbrook Golf Club:

Platinum sponsors with a contribution of $5,000 each included Sedgwick Claims Management Services and United Parcel Service (UPS).

Gold sponsors with a contribution of $2,500 each included Hennessy & Roach Law, Lewis Brisbois and Smith LLP, and Nyhan Bambrick Kinzie Lowry.

Other large sponsors included Bloody Mary Sponsor – Access OnTime/ProCare, Photo Booth Sponsor – ExamWorks, Photo Frame Sponsor – Go2 Solutions, and Drink Cart Sponsor – Nyhan Bambrick Kinzie Lowry.

Additional Hole sponsors included 3P Healthcare, Brady, Connolly & Masuda, Digistream Investigations, HealthBridge of Arlington Heights, MES Solutions, Charity Golf International and OutFrontIdeas with Kimberly and Mark.

We would like to thank Bolingbrook Golf Club and staff for their fine facilities and service during the outing; it was a beautiful day at an amazing course!

Final Proceeds to Kids Chance of Illinois:
The collaborative effort ultimately raised $23,950.52 thanks to our large sponsors, golf foursomes and twosomes, silent auction, 50/50 raffle and other generous donations. These proceeds will help fund at least eighteen semester scholarships through Kids Chance of Illinois! We are currently supporting 32 semester scholarships a year with the need continually growing as more applicants learn about us and are identified and qualified. Thank you to all that participated in our second Chicagoland Golf Fundraiser and we look forward to seeing you in 2021 for another successful outing.   We truly appreciate your involvement and support!
