Andy Hogan Golf Outing is June 4

For Immediate Release

(Paris, IL)—The 18th annual Andy Hogan Memorial Golf Outing will take place Saturday, June 4, at 12:30 pm at Eagle Ridge Golf Course in Paris.

All proceeds will go to the Edgar County Diabetes Association, and will benefit residents of Edgar County who are facing financial difficulties by providing medications, supplies, dilated eye exams, and educational materials. The organization also sponsors diabetic children to attend the American Diabetes Association’s summer camp.

The golf outing was started in 2004 by a group of friends in memory of Andy Hogan, who died unexpectedly from diabetes complications. To help cope with Andy’s death, his friends decided to have an annual golf outing to benefit Edgar County diabetics in need of assistance. All proceeds from this annual event stay local.

The cost to golf is $65, which includes green fee, lunch, cart, beverages during the outing, and prizes. Hole sponsorships are $100. Raffle tickets for a beautiful opal and diamond ring valued at $5,999 (donated by Jami Taylor from Westbrooke Jewelers) are $10 each. The winner will be drawn the day of the outing. The runner-up will receive a gift certificate for a dinner at Andrews at the Westbrook. Third prize is a $250 Walmart gift card.
