Aurora University students raise $3,850 for Hesed

Submitted by Aurora University

Aurora University students hit a hole-in-one with a benefit golf outing for the Hesed House homeless shelter in Aurora.

The students raised $3,850 for the shelter in “Tee Off for Hesed House,” a fifth annual benefit held at the Fox Bend Golf Club in Oswego.

The outing was produced by students in the spring Sports Management and Business Golf courses. The charity golf outing is held annually to provide students a practical application in sports management.

The following local students participated in the benefit golf outing: Aurora residents Colin Craig, Eddie Espinal and Hasheem Obaid; Huntley resident James McGuire; and North Aurora resident Kevin Glock.

Alicia Cosky, professor and director of the AU School of Health and Physical Education, recently presented a check to Ryan Dowd, Hesed House executive director.

“Aurora University is a joy to work with,” Dowd said. “The faculty and students really put their hearts and souls behind this golf outing. We couldn’t be more pleased.”
