The Frank Gibbons Links Fore Hope Foundation was created in memory of Frank Gibbons of Wood Dale, who lost his battle to cancer in 2011. Frank was an avid golfer who enjoyed playing with his family and friends. In his memory, the foundation raises money to send children affected by cancer to the Children Oncology Services One Step at a Time Camp in Lake Geneva, Wis. In addition, the foundation provides financial assistance to families affected by cancer through the Illinois Junior Golf Association. The foundation also provides an annual donation to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and has made numerous donations to other charities.
