A Unified Movement Begins: CEO Superheroes, Teach Our Children, and Black Kids Predict Launch Family-Focused Golf & STEAM Experience on June 29th

Chicago, IL — A powerful new collaboration between CEO Superheroes, Teach Our Children, and Northwestern University’s Black Kids Predict, in partnership with the Chicago Public Schools Office of Teaching and Learning’s Citywide STEM Initiatives, will officially launch on Sunday, June 29th, with a vibrant, community-centered event designed to bring families together through sports, technology, and joy.

Taking place at Harborside International Golf Center from 2–6 PM, the “Par Fore A Purpose” Charity Golf Fundraiser is more than just a tournament—it's the beginning of a year-round movement to engage youth and families in ongoing, empowering STEM and STEAM learning opportunities.

A Day of Play, Purpose, and Family Unity

While the event includes a spirited 9-hole scramble golf tournament for those who wish to compete, it also features free, all-ages programming designed to invite families into the world of golf and STEAM—together.

Participants can expect an immersive and joyful afternoon that includes:

•

Age-specific golf games and instruction led by Coach Erika Shavers of First Tee-Greater Chicago

•

Interactive story time with Markedia Alston, author of The Boohoo Boohoo Bear, featuring free autographed books for young children, and parent resources to keep kiddos engaged

•

Financial literacy books gifted to older youth

•

Hands-on robotics and coding stations, including bot coding toys and LEGO robot kits

•

Art Center of Englewood Family-friendly art stations featuring face painting and a guided paint party

•

The DICOPI golf challenge—an engaging activity where families can test their driving, chipping, and putting skills together

•

Tech-curated experiences, including virtual reality and drone navigation

•

Music by a live DJ, food for all, and access to community resource info

This collaboration centers the belief that STEM learning is strongest when shared by families, educators, and communities in joyful, accessible ways. Together, our organizations are committed to building long-term pathways that open doors and possibilities for youth—starting with one fun, unforgettable day on the green.
