BTB Mission

Our mission:  To award financial assistance as well as provide emotional support to individuals from the Chicagoland area who experience hardships due to cancer or a cancer-related illness.

We're fighting cancer... one family at a time.

Now celebrating its 19th year, the BTB Foundation - Beat Tom and Bill Charity Golf Outing, Dinner and Auction has
raised and given over $1.3 MILLION Dollars to help local families battling cancer and several cancer-related charities. 

Our annual outing was started in 2002 to raise funds for a lifelong friend’s wife who was undergoing breast cancer treatment.  That inaugural year we raised $3,000 with 30 friends in attendance.  Since then, the outing has kept growing; this year's event  saw record crowds of 303 golfers and 140 volunteers on the course and 550 people for dinner, raising over $140,000 in net proceeds. 

Tom and Bill Latourette, along with a host of friends, family and volunteers, want to continue helping local families and cancer patients.  Our outing brings together complete strangers and turns them into lifelong friends. 

The 2020 event is supporting these 15 families, 
the BTB Scholarship Fund
and Sally's Studio Art Therapy Foundation
