BCI’s Legacy Golf Tournament
2027 – Date TBD
Whitmoor Country Club
Since 2019, BCI’s annual golf outing has honored Jim Lang — a dedicated mentor, passionate advocate, and former BCI board president whose leadership and belief in our mission helped create lasting opportunities for people with disabilities. His legacy continues to inspire the work we do every day.
Now, we’re proud to carry that tradition forward with the reimagined BCI Legacy Golf Tournament and the introduction of the Jim Lang Legacy Award, which recognizes individuals who embody Jim’s spirit of service, leadership, inclusion, and commitment to empowering others.
This exciting new chapter also brings expanded opportunities to participate and make an impact. With a new date, new location, new kickoff dinner, and two 18-hole championship courses, we’ll be able to welcome more golfers, more supporters, and more champions of BCI’s mission simultaneously.
Each foursome registration also includes four tickets to the Legacy Award Dinner on Sunday night. Golfers are welcome to attend the dinner themselves or transfer their tickets to colleagues, clients, or other guests. Additional individual dinner tickets will also be available for purchase.
Join us for a meaningful day on the course that celebrates community, honors a remarkable legacy, and supports life-changing employment and vocational opportunities for people with disabilities.
Chuck Blossom
BCI Board Member 1987-1999
BCI CEO 1999-2014
2026 Jim Lang Legacy Award
BCI was honored to present the inaugural Jim Lang Legacy Award to Chuck Blossom, recognizing his outstanding leadership, dedication, and lasting impact on BCI and the adults with disabilities we serve.
Chuck’s journey with BCI began as a businessman who recognized the organization’s ability to deliver exceptional quality. He later joined the BCI Board and became CEO in 1999, bringing a unique combination of business expertise and passion for BCI’s mission. As fate would have it, it was actually Chuck who connected Jim Lang to the BCI mission—making this inaugural award to Chuck an especially meaningful tribute to the legacy they both helped create.
Under Chuck’s leadership, BCI experienced tremendous growth, significantly expanding its contract packaging business, overall operations, and employment opportunities for adults with disabilities. He also helped expand BCI’s operations into Lincoln County and create new pathways to community-based employment.
Most importantly, Chuck helped shape a culture centered on recognizing and maximizing each individual’s unique abilities, rather than focusing on disabilities. That philosophy remains a defining part of BCI today and represents one of Chuck’s greatest legacies.
“The thing I like most about BCI is that every employee is truly, fully engaged. They genuinely love each other; it’s just a loving environment. I’ve probably been in a couple of hundred plants over the years, and I’ve just never really seen anything quite like this.”
2026: Bigger and Better Than ever!
A record 240 golfers joined us on the course Monday for this year’s golf outing. With the support of our Title Sponsor, Slalom, and many generous sponsors, the weekend raised about $160,000. That support helps us inspire, develop and support people with disabilities through innovative employment opportunities.
On Sunday evening, we kicked off the weekend with our first-ever Legacy Dinner. We honored former CEO Chuck Blossom with the inaugural Jim Lang Legacy Award, and Janet and Jeremy Kuhn spoke about the value of summer work for students. The dinner raised over $20,000 to fund summer work experiences for high school students with disabilities.
Thank you to every donor, sponsor and volunteer who made the weekend possible. We couldn’t do it without you, and we can’t wait to see you next year!
