Golf scramble in Gill, Mass.

Posted: 10 Aug 2010 02:24 AM PDT

Tuesday August 10, 2010

BRATTLEBORO -- On Saturday, Aug. 21, at Oak Ridge Golf Course in Gill, Mass., Sy's Fund is hosting a benefit golf scramble. The cost is $70 per player, with teams of four needed. The price includes a day of golf with cart, snacks and a barbecued chicken dinner. There will also be a raffle with prizes, ranging from golf clubs, bags, gift certificates -- including twosomes at various golf clubs in the area -- and more. Entertainment during dinner will be provided by local rock band, "Haven't a Clue." The event begins at 8 a.m. with a shotgun start. All proceeds will directly benefit young adults with cancer through Sy's Fund.

Sy's Fund is a unique resource that provides meaningful gifts to young adults with cancer that has nothing to do with their illness, during a time often fraught with extreme challenge and uncertainty. It is a tribute to Silas "Sy" Bennett, who resided in Greenfield, Mass., after being diagnosed with late stage cancer in October of 2007 at age 28.

According to his mother, Lorraine Kerz, Silas was pursuing a journalism degree when diagnosed.

"What I want to see Sy's Fund do is give other young people the opportunity to connect with something that will maybe make life a little easier during treatments and ongoing medical issues," Kerz said. "When Silas became unable to continue his college studies, he still pursued his journalistic endeavors

through photography, capturing the world around him until two days before his death in 2008. His ability to stay focused on life during such a sad time inspired me to want to exemplify this quality while helping others."

Sy's Fund kicked off its first fundraiser in May of this year.

"We decided to be proactive in our fundraising while waiting for our federal nonprofit status to come through," Kerz said. "Our website is up, and we are getting ready to get the word out through informational postcards which will be sent to hospitals and cancer centers throughout the states. We have put together an Advisory Board that enables us to work closely with young adults who have cancer to be sure that we do things in a way that is most beneficial to the young adult cancer community."

To register a team or for more information, call Sy's Fund at 413-512-9177 or go to the website at www.sysfund.org. Area businesses that would like to donate gift certificates or items for the raffle, or for information on sponsorship opportunities for this event can call Sy's Fund at 413-512-9177 as well.
