About
What started as a conversation between two organizations that shared a mission to help support youth in need, the Kiwanis and Cunningham Children’s Home, is now a staple in our community. The annual Kendall Gill Golf Benefit, a fun day of golf and good works, has enjoyed 34 remarkable years and is stronger than ever.
Former Illini and professional basketball star Kendall Gill hosts the benefit each summer, along with his wife Wendy and sons Phoenix and Kota. Kendall has been a strong supporter of Cunningham youth since 1989. He generously contributed to the Boys Group Home named in his honor and spends time with the youth there when he is in town.
