In 2006, CPS lost Teresa Schueneman to breast cancer. At that time they decided the CPS Charity Golf Outing would be known as the Teresa Schueneman Memorial Open. It would support organizations whose purpose was to provide support for women diagnosed with this terrible disease.
After golf, join a complimentary lunch, drinks and post-golf activities that include a raffle and auction. The event will again take place at the Links at Carillon, 21200 S. Carillon Drive, just off I-55 and Weber Road in Plainfield. Cost is $110. This includes lunch, drinks (after golf), gift bag and event T-shirt.
