The 10th annual Jason D. Kuhn Memorial Golf Scramble will be Saturday at Horseshoe Bend Golf Course located in northern Rush County and will feature a community hog roast and concert featuring Virgin Millionaires immediately following the golf festivities.
The scramble will also feature its highly anticipated fundraiser that will include Colts tickets, Kenny Chesney concert tickets, autographed items signed by Bob & Tom, Pacers, Indy Car Series drivers, and rock and roll superstars among many other generous gifts.
As a means of celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Kuhn Golf Scramble, the Kuhn family and the scramble founders (Adam Decker, Marc Steczyk and Andy Wilson) will host a community hog roast and evening concert featuring an acoustic performance by popular Indianapolis band Virgin Millionaires and cover band Bit A Danger. The community hog roast will begin at 5:30 p.m. and live music will begin at 6:30 p.m. The event will be held at the club house at Horseshoe Bend with the cost of the hog roast and concert admission covered for those participating in the golf scramble.
Members of the general public are welcome and encouraged to attend the celebration and can purchase the $15 hog roast/concert tickets at Horseshoe Bend Golf Course, at Rush Memorial Hospital or download a form on-line at www.kuhngolf.blogspot.com now. Separate tickets that do not include the hog roast, but the concert only, are also available.
Tee time for golf is 12:30 p.m. with registration beginning at 11 a.m.
Profits from this year’s scramble, hog roast and concert will, again, be donated to the Sheehan Cancer Care Center at Rush Memorial Hospital in Rushville. Last year’s tournament generated more than $5,000 for the cancer center.
To date, the tournament has raised nearly $75,000 since its June 1999 inception, and the proceeds have been used to endow two Jason Kuhn Memorial Scholarships at Franklin College. One scholarship, endowed for the life of the college, is awarded to an advertising/public relations major; and the other, also endowed for the life of the college, is awarded to a member of Franklin’s Kappa Delta Rho fraternity of which Jason was a member.
Proceeds from the 2003 tournament, the first after the scholarships became fully endowed at Franklin College, were donated to the American Cancer Society.
So far, the scramble has raised over $17,000 for the Sheehan Cancer Care Center in Rushville; the goal is $50,000.
Reservations for the golf scramble may be made by calling Horseshoe Bend Golf Course at (765) 345-5242 or by downloading a reservation form from the official golf scramble Web site at www.kuhngolf.blogspot.com. Additional sponsorship opportunities are also available.
Jason Kuhn was a 1993 graduate of Rushville Consolidated High School and a 1997 graduate of Franklin College. He passed due to complications from Hodgkin’s disease.
