⛳ Take the Lead: Fairways to Freedom Golf Classic

Presented by Gunny Gear

Swing with Purpose. Make an Impact.

Join Gunny Gear for the Take the Lead: Fairways to Freedom Golf Classic—a day on the green where entrepreneurs, veterans, business leaders, community partners, and supporters come together for golf, great connections, good people, and a whole lot of fun, all while creating opportunities and driving positive change.

🎉 We are honored and proud to announce that Fenton High School INCubator and Blue Star Families – Chicagoland Chapter will be some of the recipients of proceeds from this year’s Golf Classic! 💙⭐

Two incredible organizations represent what this event is all about—investing in entrepreneurs, supporting our military families, creating opportunities, and strengthening our communities.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, veteran, business leader, community partner, supporter—or you just know how to have a good time on the golf course—we want you on the green!

⛳ This year’s target, on the green, is to have fun, make connections, build relationships, discover resources, support local businesses, and strengthen our community, all while enjoying some friendly competition along the way.

At Gunny Gear, taking the lead means more than being out front. It means creating opportunities, opening doors, supporting one another, and never forgetting the men and women who served and sacrificed for our freedom—and the families who stand beside them and always thanking the community that has supported us along the way.

So, round up your foursome, grab your clubs, and bring your best swing 😎 for a day where fairways, freedom, fun, and community come together for a great cause

Take the Lead. Make an Impact.
