In late July, 140 golfers descended on the beautiful Hinsdale Golf Club for the Sixth Annual Brooks Strong Invitational Golf Tournament. This marks the fourth year in a row the event has been a sell out.

Golfers and their guests enjoyed a wonderful round of golf followed by a beautiful cocktail reception and awards ceremony. The highlight of the day was recognition of two recipients of the first annual Brooks Strong Scholarship which is awarded to student athletes at Hinsdale Central High School.

The event raised more than $75,000 in support of the mission of Brooks Strong Foundation to support kids going through cancer treatment. ■
