Little City Foundation will host 47th Annual Little City Invitational Golf Tournament on Monday, Aug. 16, at Twin Orchard Country Club in Long Grove.
This year’s tournament also will signify the final major event celebrating Little City’s 50th Anniversary year, which began on Oct. 1, 2009, and ends Sept. 30.
Little City will present Larmon with its prestigious Morrie Kellman Humanitarian Award, named after the founder of the Little City tournament. The Little City Invitational is one of the oldest, ongoing golf tournaments in the country hosted by a nonprofit, which has advocated and raised funds for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities for more than half a century.
No stranger to Little City, Larmon has played in several Little City Invitational tournaments in the past to support the organization. In fact, his foursome won the event last year. He is also very active in community service, both in the Chicago and St. Louis areas, including serving on the national board of the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
“Pat is a perfect selection for our Morrie Kellman Humanitarian Award, which emphasizes compassion, dedication and support for people with disabilities,” said Ed Hockfield, one of the co-chairs for this year’s event. “We are very pleased to have him as our honoree this year.”
“Little City Foundation is a wonderful organization that provides hope and dignity to people with disabilities, and I am always willing to help them whenever I can,” Larmon said. “To receive an honor of this caliber is very humbling, and I look forward to taking part in this year’s tournament.”
