Thank you for joining St. Jude friends and supporters on Monday, August 25, 2025 for the 33rd annual St. Jude Chicago Golf Classic and Pickleball Tournament presented by Parlor Pizza Bar at Twin Orchard Country Club in Long Grove, Illinois!
Since its inception, the St. Jude Chicago Golf Classic has raised more than $6 million for the kids of St. Jude. We hope you enjoyed the opportunity to play at a private golf course featuring two 18-hole championship golf courses, the Water and the Woods. Players will have the opportunity to play 18 holes of golf, compete in our golf tournament, enjoy lunch and dinner and play alongside former St. Jude patients.
