Twas a holly, jolly PAR-TEE;
And in case you didn’t hear
Instead of golf, mayor took a swing
At Noah’s Events this year

Twas a holly, jolly PAR-TEE;
To raise funds for charity*
Say Hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet

Oh ho
The friends you know
Came with their support
Somebody waits for you;
To give a good report.

Twas a holly jolly PAR-TEE
And in case you didn’t hear
Oh by golly
Have a holly
Jolly PAR-TEE next year!

Take that holly, jolly PAR-TEE;
Repeat the theme next year
Use some place to raise some green
And have a cup of cheer

Take that holly, jolly PAR-TEE;
With Bianca in the lead
Say Hello to friends you know
And help some folks in need

Oh ho
The friends you know
Will come with their support
Sponsors will fund their share;
To give a good report.

Take that holly jolly PAR-TEE
And shout for all to hear
Oh by golly
Have a holly
Jolly PAR-TEE next year!

*360 Youth Services, Turning Pointe Autism Foundation, Edward Foundation Kids Care, KidsMatter, YMCA, SamaraCare, DuPage Children’s Museum, Hesed House were the Mayor’s Charities for 2017.

Held on Aug. 25, 2017, the Mayor’s PAR-TEE-19th Hole was a huge success for charity, with tables sponsored by local businesses for the new fundraiser to benefit the Mayor’s Charities.*

Billed as a “casual golf-theme” evening event, the fundraiser set at Noah’s Event Venue took the place of the Mayor’s Golf Outing that was begun back when Mayor Peg Price led the City more than 30 years ago.

According to Mayor Steve Chirico, the new event brought the “course” inside, with cocktails, golf-themed activities, auction and “amazing food from many favorite Naperville restaurants” coordinated by Anthony Losurdo from Hugo’s Frog Bar. Live entertainment was performed by Thirsty Boots.

During the recent luncheon held at Hugo’s, Mayor Chirico thanked co-chairs Julie Chirico, Tom Miers and Russ Whitaker as well as auctioneer Ray Kinney for the event’s success that more than doubled the funds raised for charity from the previous year. The mayor presented $15,000 checks to each of the eight selected nonprofit organizations.

The 2017 Executive Committee was served by Sandy Benson, Cindy Kepner, Anthony Losurdo, Casey McCormick, Bianca Morin, Brian Palm, Whitney Robbins and Emy Trotz.  Trotz, Benson and Kepner were recognized as “originals” who had volunteered to help with the Mayor’s Golf Outing for many years.

Mayor Chirico also announced with appreciation that Bianca Morin will serve as 2018 PAR-TEE chairman.
