Bio: Despite the KFM Cancer Classic being played in 4 cities across 21 years and always held amidst graduations, reunions, and weddings – Pat and Annie have never missed a KFM Cancer Classic. They have also attended every KFM Hall of Fame dinner & induction ceremony. Their oldest daughter Margaret was inducted into the KFM Hall of Fame in 2019. On the greens, perhaps a nod to his ‘player friendly’ scoring, Pat won the Fossil Award in ’03 and ’06, and the Domer Award in ’16. Their career financial support and encouragement of the Classic stands alone.

Personal:Pat & Annie Monahan raised 9 children and have 17 grandchildren. They have been married for 55 years and reside in Arcola, IL. Pat, an Arcola native living in the house he grew up in, is currently serving in his role as Ambassador at Monahan Partners, a spinoff of the Thomas Monahan Company that was been in Arcola for 99 years. Annie, an Arcola transplant from Washington D.C., donates her time to helping the church in various activities, delivers meals to shut-ins, and fairs well on afternoon games of solitaire and episodes of Jeopardy. Both have been relentless in their support of all things Arcola and whose home knows no strangers and is a pleasant destination for all of their grandkids. 

Pat and Annie's Thoughts on His Hall of Fame Induction:

“Hey KFM Cancer Classic, when Kevin announced he was sponsoring a fund raiser to fight Cancer, we thought what a nice thing to do – and though he said it was only the beginning, we were skeptical. We should have known better. It’s been fun to watch the event become a ‘happening’ and miniature golf is a genius selection for the activity. We take pride in the huge amount the event has raised – from the generosity of all the participants – for this most worthy cause. And to have done it in such a way that donors have a really fun time.

We are happy to be accepted into the Hall of Fame, joining so many good people who have been a great help in this fight and we are very proud of Kevin.”
