Gar Wood Securities Proud to Sponsor the 6th Annual KGF Celebrity Pro-Am Benefiting Bo Jackson's Give Me A Chance Foundation
At Gar Wood Securities, we believe that what you support says as much about who you are as what you do. That's why we're proud to announce our sponsorship of the 6th Annual KGF Celebrity Pro-Am – held in partnership with Bo Jackson's Give Me A Chance Foundation on Saturday, June 20th at Rich Harvest Farms in Illinois, one of the most celebrated private golf courses in the country.
The Kids Golf Foundation works with individuals and organizations throughout Illinois to bring golf to their communities by providing training, equipment, curriculum, access, and ongoing support – all at no cost.
Our sponsorship will go directly toward providing over 80 participants with a brand-new beginner set of clubs, hat, polo, golf balls, tees, rules booklet, and bag tag, along with additional opportunities to continue playing after their program is complete.

About The Event
The KGF Celebrity Pro-Am is an annual gathering of golfers, celebrities, and community supporters coming together for a cause that matters. This year's event runs across three days:
Thursday, June 18th: Celebration with celebrities at Capri Ristorante in Burr Ridge, IL
Friday, June 19th: Overnight accommodations at Rich Harvest Farms
Saturday, June 20th: Shotgun start at 9:00am, with registration, breakfast, and range opening at 7:00am
It's a full weekend of competition, connection, and community – set against the backdrop of one of the most stunning golf courses in the Midwest.
The KGF Celebrity Pro-Am is held in partnership with Bo Jackson's Give Me A Chance Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to guiding disadvantaged youth toward personal and professional growth through athletic and educational programs.
Bo Jackson – one of the most extraordinary athletes in American sports history, has long channeled that same drive and discipline into giving back. The Give Me A Chance Foundation reflects that commitment: meeting young people where they are and giving them the tools, the opportunities, and the belief that they can build something great.
For us at Gar Wood Securities, supporting these organizations aligns with something we genuinely believe; that access and opportunity matter, and that the financial industry has a role to play in the broader community, not just in the markets.
Follow along as we head into June – and we'll see you on the course.
