The Windy City Golf Classic is Chicagoland's longest-running golf event dedicated to raising funds for the American Cancer Society. In 1981, William T. White, Jr. initiated the outing as a community golf tournament to support the Society. After his passing from leukemia in 1993, the event was named in his memory. Today, the American Cancer Society Windy City Golf Classic continues to honor those currently fighting cancer and memorialize those who have lost their battles
