TK9 Foundation Impromptu Golf Outing: Honoring Tyler’s Legacy

TK9 Foundation Impromptu Golf Outing: Honoring Tyler’s Legacy

On September 21st (2024), over 50 friends, family, and supporters gathered at Woodruff Golf Course in New Lenox for an impromptu golf outing to honor the life and legacy of Tyler Koscinski. This gathering became a meaningful day of connection, remembrance, and celebration, bringing people together to support the TK9 Foundation’s mission and reflect on the impact Tyler made in the lives of so many.

The day was filled with laughter, friendly competition, and heartfelt stories shared by those who knew Tyler best. From tee-off to the final putt, each swing was a reminder of the passion Tyler had for sports, teamwork, and bringing people together. The outing brought a community together not only to celebrate Tyler’s life but also to support the foundation’s goals of helping young athletes pursue their dreams and foster a love for the game.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on the greens for this special day and to Woodruff Golf Course for providing the perfect backdrop for this meaningful event. The support shown at this outing reaffirms the strength of our community and inspires us to carry forward Tyler’s legacy with pride and purpose.

Stay tuned for future events and ways to support the TK9 Foundation as we continue to grow Tyler’s legacy and give back to the community in his name.

On October 26th (2024), we gathered in New Lenox at the White Horse for our inaugural fundraiser to celebrate the life and legacy of Tyler Koscinski. The turnout was extraordinary, with nearly 250 attendees showing up to honor Tyler and support young athletes in need. Through the generosity of everyone who attended, donated, and participated in the evening’s activities, we raised significant funds that will help us make a lasting impact in the community through scholarships and essential support for aspiring athletes.

The event was filled with meaningful moments, camaraderie, and excitement. Highlights included a lively silent auction, raffle prizes, and heartfelt words from Tyler’s family, who expressed their gratitude to all who joined us and supported our mission. A special thanks to the White Horse for graciously hosting and to everyone who contributed, both friends and new supporters alike.

We are thrilled to announce that the Tyler Koscinski Memorial Foundation has officially been approved as a nonprofit organization in Illinois and has secured an EIN. All contributions, including those from the GoFundMe campaign and this event, have been carefully set aside for the Foundation's charitable initiatives. While we await final approval of our 501(c)(3) status, we’re excited to continue building this Foundation in Tyler’s honor and will keep everyone updated on our progress.

Thank you once again for making this event such a success. Together, we’re ensuring that Tyler’s spirit lives on through positive action and support for young athletes. Stay tuned for more updates on upcoming events and ways to get involved!
