SUPPORT ST. JOHN'S BREADLINE
How to help
The St. John's Breadline of Springfield is an affiliate of Catholic Charities. It serves a hot, nutritious meal to the hungry men, women and children of Springfield in a clean and positive environment. Without these accessible meals, these men & women would spend too much time seeking food security rather than finding jobs, getting an education, or being an integral part of the community. The breadline serves over 200,000 meals per year
Your presence at the Esper Figueras Memorial Golf outing helps to support this worthy cause. We are approved as an official non-for-profit 501c3 organization by the IRS. In 2022 we raised $7500, our best year yet! We held the 2022 outing on Saturday July 9th at Lincoln Greens Golf Course and it was a huge success! This year's outing was held Saturday July 8th and it was another huge success. We are still tallying our final numbers so stay tuned.

This year's outing was held on Saturday July 8th, 2023 at Lincoln Greens Golf Course in Springfield, IL. Thank you to all who donated and joined us for a day of food, fun and golf! We all had an amazing time raising money for St. John's Breadline and remembering our dear Esper Figueras. We also remembered another member of our family who passed this year, Aidan Worswick (husband of Izzy Figueras). We encouraged all to wear a black ribbon to support melanoma awareness.
We were all worried about the weather the whole previous week, but God blessed us with a perfect day. A bit cloudy and overcast in the morning but the sun came out and stayed with us all afternoon and evening. Eighty eight golfers signed up for this year's outing. A delicious lunch of brats and hot dogs was provided by St. John's Breadline.
Congratulations to the winners of the golf challenges who took home $50 gift cards from CVS Pharmacy, Target, Walmart & Dick's Sporting Goods
