Title
Community Pride Award - Crystal Tree Golf & Country Club
History
Mayor Pekau and the Village Board will present a Community Pride Award to Crystal Tree Golf & Country Club of Orland Park.
The Village of Orland Park would like to honor Crystal Tree Golf and Country Club for being a proud supporter of the Charles “Chick” Evans Scholarship Foundation. From its inception, Crystal Tree has focused on building a strong Caddie program. As a result, Crystal Tree has been very successful at preparing caddies for their young adult lives.
Because of their dedication to the young adults in our community, to date, over thirty (30) Crystal Tree caddies have been awarded scholarships.
To qualify, a caddie must be nominated by his/her club and meet four (4) requirements: rank among the top twenty-five (25) percent of his high school class, have a superior caddie record for two (2) or more years; show financial need; and have outstanding personal character. The Evans Scholarship recipient must then keep a strong academic record, perform community service, respect their fellow Scholars and faithfully perform assigned housework. Nearly one-half of all Scholars maintain a “B” average or better; the graduate rate is ninety (90) percent, compared to a fifty (50) percent national average.
The Village of Orland Park would like to extend the gratitude of the entire community to an extraordinary program run by Crystal Tree Golf and Country Club. Bob Kelly will be accepting the award on behalf of Crystal Tree Golf & Country Club.
