About
The Patrick’s Putts & Pans golf outing is bringing our community together for a fundraiser benefiting the Patrick Concannon Young Chefs’ Scholarship Fund.
Patrick Concannon, one of the founders of Ottimo’s and Mamma Maria’s located in Orland Park, was so special to so many who visited his restaurants. Whether it was at the corner of the bar, on a practice tee, 1st tee, in a locker room, on the ice, or in his own kitchen, Patrick was a man who was loved by so many, always with a smile, strong embrace, an engaging handshake, great stories about life, and most importantly, care more about how you were doing than himself. As a young man who had to forge his own life, he did it on his own when he left for Hawaii at the age of 18 where he lived day-to-day, paycheck to paycheck, and built an amazing career filled with incredible experience and adventure. And, by the grace of God, met his love – Stephanie and soon partnered and nurtured his loving daughters, Alyssa and Lexi. Always a loyalist to family, friends and his employees, Patrick’s care, concern, and love was deep in everything he did.
To honor this great, great man, The Patrick Concannon Young Chefs’ Scholarship Fund (PCYCSF) has been created to help ensure young culinary students with the same passion and worth ethic can finish school. Unfortunately, there are students who have to leave culinary school because they simply run out of money. Anyone who knows Patrick knows that he would be bothered by this unfortunate event of a student having to leave their passion because they couldn’t afford it. Working with both culinary schools and Joliet Junior College and Moraine Valley Community College, proceeds from the PCYCSF will allow culinary students in need to pursue their passion in the same spirit and vigor as that of Patrick.
On Wednesday, July 15, 2026 at Silver Lake Country Club in Orland Park, the PCYCSF is hosting a golf outing and fundraiser to raise as much money as possible to allow students to continue to pursue their culinary dreams. We are accepting donations of any type (monetary, auction items, gift cards, sports memorabilia, etc.) where all proceeds will be provided to foundations at both institutions that provide financial support to allow these students to finish school and begin their culinary dreams. Please do what you can to allow us to change the lives of these students in the spirit of our beloved Patrick.
