On July 29, 130 golfers gathered under blue skies at the beautiful Hinsdale Golf Club for the 7th Annual Brooks Strong Invitational Golf Tournament, a tradition that has become a highlight of the summer for many. The golfers were joined by nearly 100 sponsors, guests and volunteers for a post-golf celebration and awards ceremony. The event raised more than $75,000 in support of the Brooks Strong Foundation.

Brooks Strong was started in honor of Brooks Tonn, a bright young kid and naturally gifted athlete who loved playing sports. During his cancer treatment, he continued playing sports where he was able to spend time with his friends, be outside, and stay active. Brooks Strong raises money to provide grants to pediatric cancer patients aged 8-18 in order to fund their continuation of a sport or extracurricular activity to offset some of the financial hardship that comes with treatment. They are also raising money to fund research to fight pediatric cancer.
