OCTOBER 2025

PARTY ON THE GREEN

The East Lake Foundation and Golf Channel proudly presented the 2024 Party on the Green and East Lake Cup. These two signature events benefit the Foundation to help families build better lives and help children reach their highest potential. Over the last nine years, these signature events have contributed more than $4 million to support the Foundation’s programs and partners.

The 2024 took place on Saturday, October 26, 2024 at East Lake Golf Club.

Kathie and Chuck Palmer were recognized for their volunteer and philanthropic support of the East Lake Foundation and unwavering commitment to our families in the East Lake and Drew Charter School communities. Chuck serves on the boards of the East Lake Golf Club and the East Lake Foundation and serves as General Chairman for the TOUR Championship.

The Annual Tom Cousins was presented at this year’s event to Ryan Eshleman, representing Auburn University, and Taylor Riley, representing LSU. The honor, named after East Lake Foundation founder and philanthropist Tom Cousins, recognizes collegiate golfers – one male and one female – best representing the values of the award: excelling in academics and engagement in the community.
