September Updates

5th Annual Mike Adler Memorial Golf Outing a Success for BGC Joliet

The 5th Annual Mike Adler Memorial Golf Outing was held on Sunday, September 27 and it was a tremendous success for the Boys & Girls Club of Joliet.

The legacy and influence of Mike Adler remains timeless and unremitting, and as a result, valuable monetary funds were raised for the Club, with a record setting amount of over $30,000!

We once again gathered together to celebrate Mike's life and as result, raised critical monetary support for the Boys & Girls Club of Joliet!

A heartfelt thank you to Joanne Adler and the entire Adler Family, including, Board President, Amanda Bornhofen Moretti, Board Member, Joe Adler, Chris Adler, and Board Vice-President, Eric Perez!

Special thank you to our PLATINUM sponsors: Adler Roofing & Sheet Metal, Anheuser-Busch, Molson Coors, and Filotto Roofing, Inc., our GOLD sponsors: Comcast, Edward Jones (Ed Dollinger), and Demark Inc., and our numerous Bronze and Silver sponsors and of course...ALL that attended!

Shout out to Brian Legan and Inwood Golf Course for being amazing hosts and for putting in the extra time and effort to ensure that this event had the proper mitigation practices to be SAFE for all!

We love you, Mike!

See you next year!
