The golf tournament and drawing “Make Par for Kayla” will be at 9 a.m., June 28, at Cedarbrook Golf Course. Registration costs $140 per team for a four-person scramble.
Proceeds will go to Kayla Genoble, an eight-year-old battling osteosarcoma, a cancerous bone tumor that is in her left leg’s femur.
“She’s going to have surgery that week and they’re going to remove her femur bone, and her hip bone, and put in a ratchet type of apparatus,” said Phyllis Nelson, 59. “When she grows, it will grow.”
Phyllis Nelson’s daughter, Anna Nelson, 33, came up with the idea for the tournament. Anna’s boyfriend is good friends with Michael Genoble, Kayla’s father.
Phyllis said the drawing has plenty of support. Items up for the drawing consist of tickets to the Schlitterbahn water park in Kansas City, four passes to Sycamore Ridge Golf Course in Spring Hill, golf putters, dinner and movie passes and many more miscellaneous items.
“The golfing community is a strong community, so I’m hoping for a good turnout,” Phyllis said.
There are multiple ways to register. Register in person at Cedarbrook Country Club or Nelson Quarries. Participants can also call Cedarbrook at 620-365-2176 or Anna Nelson at 620-228-8822 or Nelson Quarries at 620-365-5300.
