Registration is now open for The Night Ministry’s 8th annual Golf Outing. The event takes place on September 23 at Kemper Lakes Golf Club in Kildeer, IL. All proceeds benefit The Crib, The Night Ministry’s overnight emergency shelter that addresses immediate housing needs for homeless young people ages 18 to 24.
The event begins at 7:00 am on Monday, September 23. Tickets cost $375 per individual or $1,500 per foursome. This cost includes 18 holes of golf, a continental breakfast as well as a buffet lunch. Individuals or companies are also invited to “sponsor a hole” for $500.
This is the second year that The Night Ministry’s Golf Outing will be held at Kemper Lakes Golf Club. Last year’s Golf Outing raised over $20,000 for The Night Ministry’s programs.

The cost of an Annual Golf Outing ticket ($375) could provide safe, emergency housing and meals for a young person at The Crib for up to six nights. The Crib houses 20 homeless young adults every night. The Night Ministry created The Crib in 2011 to respond to the lack of age-appropriate shelter beds for young people experiencing homelessness in Chicago. There are less than 300 shelter beds for youth in Chicago, while an estimated 2,000 young people experience homelessness every night.
“I have been homeless since I was 16. I was always trying to find a way to eat and stay warm. At The Crib, staff care and they help me out a lot,” said William, a frequent resident of The Crib.
