Foz Ryan Golf Outing

Foz Ryan was a champion, volunteer and friend to Special Olympics Illinois. Through his involvement with the Knights of Columbus, Hibernians and others he raised more than $165,000 for the athletes between 1975 and 2011.  Please join us in memory of Richard “Foz” Ryan (1931 – 2011) as we honor this amazing individual and continue to raise funds for a cause close to his heart.
