Dear Business Owner,

The Sommer Foundation hosts an annual 18-hole competitive golf tournament, the sole fund-raising activity that supports our annual scholarship program. A gift card, or auction item donation would be part of our raffle which helps us to raise thousands of dollars towards our below stated mission. 

The Sommer Foundation's mission is to provide college or university scholarships to deserving high school seniors who have experienced the death of a parent, and despite the resulting emotional trauma, have performed in an exemplary manner during his or her high school career. 

Since the foundation’s inception and inaugural event, we have seen over 3,200 players participate, raised over $682,000 and awarded 156 scholarships to high school seniors who have lost a parent and succeeded in the face of adversity. We are proud and excited to be able to further the education of tomorrow’s leaders. These scholarships have been made possible through the generosity of our sponsors, supporters and golf participants.

Each year, the Sommer Foundation hosts the Sommer Memorial Golf Tournament. It is an 18-hole competitive golf event for players of all skill levels. The golf tournament is the sole fund-raising activity that supports our annual scholarship program and many participants return year after year to contribute to this worthwhile cause.

Your donation would be included in our raffle, which helps to raise thousands of dollars towards our mission. Our participants greatly look forward to our raffle each year. Your contribution would be promoted via large banners that are placed at the event, featured on fliers that are given to each of our guests and participants and announced at the event.

Our event date is July 24th, 2023 at the Royal Melbourne in Long Grove, IL. If you would so graciously like to donate, please send the donations to 109 Ash St, Winnetka, IL 60093. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or for additional information.

Thank you so much for your consideration,

Bridget Colleran
