In 2023, the CDGA partnered with the Folds of Honor Foundation, an organization that provides life-changing scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen or disabled US service members and first responders, carrying on a longstanding tradition of utilizing golf to enhance the lives of our nation's heroes.
Folds of Honor has awarded approximately 44,000 educational scholarships since its founding in 2007, but increasing demand in recent years led to an unmet need in the Chicago District. The CDGA and CDGA Foundation began to help close this gap by funding five Folds of Honor scholarships, a contribution totaling $25,000, allowing more dependents of veterans and first responders to experience life-changing education.
The five recipients in 2023 were Kayli McGinnis (Trinity Christian College), Perry Casey (Southern Illinois University-Carbondale), Meadow Cox (Saint Xavier University), Diana Freeman (University of Illinois-Chicago) and Joseph Ritchie (University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign).
