Sixth Annual ‘Madisonation’ Golf Tournament to help battle pediatric cancer

Kevin Muckle, of Stafford, is continuing the fight against childhood cancer and has organized the sixth annual “Madisonation” Golf Tournament, which will be held at Hickory Ridge Golf Tournament this Sunday (Aug. 28). Hickory Ridge Golf Resort and Country Club is located at 15816 Lynch Road in Holley. This year, proceeds will be donated to the family of Ella Suhr, who is about 8 months old and was diagnosed in March with primitive neuroectodermal tumor, a cancerous neural crest tumor that is extremely rare. The funds raised on Sunday will help her parents with medical expenses, travel costs (to Tampa, Fla., and Rochester) and bills that continue to mount while they strive to save their baby girl’s life. The parents, Joe and Maegan Suhr, are both local school teachers, and have been out of work since the diagnosis and will continue to be for the next several months. Sunday’s event is a semi-competitive best ball tournament, with prizes awarded to the lowest men’s, ladies, and mixed team scores. The registration fee is $380 per foursome. Individual golfers seeking a team are $95 each. Those who wish to skip golf and just enjoy the banquet and fundraiser are just $30 each.
