Date Set for 25th Annual Catholic Social Services Memorial Golf Classic & Auction
On Friday, August 6, Hillcrest Country Club in Lincoln will host the 25th annual Catholic Social Services (csshope.org/golf2021) Memorial Golf Classic & Auction, a major fundraiser for the programs of Catholic Social Services of Southern Nebraska. This year’s event will be held in memory of Jack Hoenig and Marilynn Clyne Hoenig. Together, Jack and Marilynn volunteered for many organizations including the Catholic Social Services Lincoln Food Pantry, where they prepared sacks of food for clients for many years.
Last year, 36 teams played in the morning flight and 36 teams played in the afternoon flight for a total of 288 golfers participating. The silent auction portion of the event takes place online which allows folks from anywhere to bid on items. Through the generosity of golfers, bidders, and sponsors, last year’s event raised a net amount of over $111,000 for the programs and services of CSS.
Catholic Social Services of Southern Nebraska is the charitable arm of the Diocese of Lincoln, serving all people regardless of faith in the southern third of Nebraska. Their services cover 24,000 square miles offering charitable assistance through the food pantry and emergency services, refugee resettlement and immigration help, clothing and thrift stores, family and individual counseling services, St. Gianna Women’s Homes, and emergency housing.
