Past Event

Celebrity Golf Tournament and Celebration

Thank you for joining us in celebrating the life of Randy Salerno. Remembering Randy was a special opportunity to enjoy a day of golf and a Caribbean-themed party in the evening. Your participation helped to build the foundation created in Randy's name, which strives to touch lives and transform futures. Both events were held right in the center of the community he loved.

The Event

The 2008 signature event of the Randy Salerno Foundation was the Celebrity Golf outing and evening party.

The golf tournament was held at Boone Creek Golf Club in McHenry, IL. Boone Creek was Randy's course where he spent his Sunday mornings with friends all summer long. Celebrities from CBS, WGN and local sports teams were on the course to help you enjoy the day.

To culminate the day, a festive evening celebration, "Under the Caribbean Twilight," took place at Lippold Park in Crystal Lake, IL. The highlight of the party was a performance by Mac McAnally from Jimmy Buffet's Coral Reefer band. The event also featured two live bands, plenty of food and spirits and both silent and live auctions.

Both events took place July 18, 2008.

Proceeds from the 2008 event went towards educational assistance and community enhancement projects, among the recipients in 2008 — scholarships were awarded to Crystal Lake South High School and Illinois State University.
