Sister Maryann Dosen Returns For 'Beat the Nun' Challenge

Sister Maryann Dosen, known for her formidable presence both on the green and in her charitable endeavors, will once again grace the fairways of the Crystal Tree Golf & Country Club in Orland Park. On Aug. 19, she will participate in St. Coletta?s highly anticipated 35th Annual Kennedy Golf Invitational, where she?ll be challenging golfers to a unique competition ? ?Beat the Nun.?

The ?Beat the Nun? challenge will put golfers? skills to the test as they attempt to outdrive Sister on the course. Participants who manage to surpass her impressive shots will not only earn bragging rights but also gain entry into a raffle to ?Pick Your Club? from the Crystal Tree Pro Shop.

For a fee of $25, golfers can take on the challenge and see if they have what it takes to ?Beat the Nun.? All proceeds from the challenge will go towards supporting children and adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities, furthering Sister Maryann?s mission of compassion and service to those in need.
