Donations Accepted For Krieger Memorial Golf Tournament
RANDOLPH – New Directions Youth and Family Services will hold its 15th annual Ed Krieger Memorial Golf Tournament on Saturday, June 7, at the Cardinal Hills Golf Course in Randolph.
The event will begin at noon.
Since 2011, New Directions Youth and Family Services has honored the memory of Ed Krieger with an annual golf tournament. Krieger was a 20-year Air Force veteran who worked at New Directions Youth and Family Services. He was widely known by many friends, co-workers, and clients in the southern tier for his positive and uplifting attitude. In October 2010, Krieger was diagnosed with bone cancer. He passed away in January 2011.
Proceeds from the Annual Ed Krieger Memorial Golf Tournament enrich campus life and support opportunities for New Directions youth. These opportunities include scholarships for graduating seniors. One of the scholarships that is granted annually is the Edward L. Krieger Memorial Scholarship that is given to a graduating senior at New Directions who is planning to pursue college, trade school, or military service. Scholarships are also awarded in memory of departed New Directions southern tier staff members, John Andrews, Gary Archer, Stephanie Canon, Joe Carra, Alex Foulk, Harold Nichols, Nicholas Shelley, and Dale Wadsworth.
The event is open to the public. Registration for the golf tournament is $100 per golfer and includes 18-holes of golf, a golf cart, team and special hole prizes, lunch, and dinner. Cardinal Hills members are able to register at a discounted price of $80 per golfer. Shults Auto Group is sponsoring the hole-in-one contest.
