Gill thrilled charity golf outing keeps going, growing

SAVOY — In the early years of the event, Kendall Gill would have never guessed how long he would host his golf benefit.

Turns out the number is 29. And counting. And growing.

On Monday, there were 37 foursomes playing at the University of Illinois Orange Course. Last year's event, with a similar number of players, raised nearly $26,000 for Cunningham Children's Home.

"It feels great," Gill said. "It's not just me. It's the Cunningham staff. I started this thing off and then Cunningham took it and ran with it. Throughout the years, we've kept our relationship strong.
