The event features an intimate conversation with Jack Nicklaus and Ken Harrelson, followed by a question-and-answer session. There also will be heavy hors d'oeuvres, a cash bar, and a live auction to support several scholarship initiatives at Lake Michigan College.  Casual attire is recommended.

Jack Nicklaus

Jack Nicklaus is the greatest champion in golf history. His record of achievement and sustained excellence within the game are unmatched. His competitive career spanned five decades with 120 professional tournament victories worldwide. His major championship record remains unequaled: 18 professional major championship titles (six Masters, five PGA Championships, four U.S. Opens, three Open Championships).

He is one of only five golfers – Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, and Tiger Woods, the others – who have won all four of golf's modern majors, an achievement often referred to as the career "Grand Slam." Jack remains the only player to have completed the career Grand Slam on both the regular and senior tours.

Ken Harrelson

For generations of baseball fans, Ken Harrelson, nicknamed The Hawk, will forever be known as the voice of the Chicago White Sox. His distinguished broadcasting career highlighted by 33 years with the White Sox led him to Cooperstown. On July 25, Ken will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame as the 44th recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award for excellence in broadcasting.

Ken, who left the broadcast booth following the 2018 season, is a five-time Emmy Award winner and two-time Illinois Sportscaster of the Year. His litany of memorable catchphrases includes "He gone!", "Mercy!" and "You can put it on the board, YES!" as well as nicknames such as The Big Hurt for Frank Thomas, all of which have become part of the Sox lexicon.

Tickets are $75. A table of 10 also can be purchased for $750.
