The event will begin with a shotgun start at 8 am. Registration will run from 7 am to 7:45 am with a continental breakfast. At noon, golfers will gather for lunch and a program that includes a raffle and silent auction.

Foursomes are $700 and individual spots are $175, but space is limited. To reserve a foursome, phone City of Hope at 847-583-8600.
