Players and teams are still needed for an upcoming golf tournament benefiting two Elkmont High athletes with cancer.
The tournament for Bronson Ellis and Rhett Bailey is scheduled for 7:30 a.m. July 30, at Southern Gayles.
Team entries of $75 per person, which includes lunch, are due to the golf course by Monday. The cost is $85 per player for late entries. All proceeds derived from the benefit will be donated to the families to offset medical necessities incurred during their teen’s battle against cancer.
Ellis, an upcoming senior and a member of the Red Devil football team, is currently undergoing treatments to fight stage II testicular cancer, while his 15-year-old-teammate Bailey is at St. Jude Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., undergoing treatment for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Bailey also plays basketball and baseball at Elkmont.
Both were diagnosed within weeks of each other just before school ended in May.
For more information or to find out how to donate to the fund, contact Randy Higgins at 256-497-8342.
