The Hunter Gerdes Memorial Golf Outing is happening Saturday at Wolf Creek Golf Course in Cayuga.

Along with golf, there will also be children’s games, a meal and both silent and live auctions.

The outing is in honor of Hunter Gerdes, who passed away from leukemia in September 2008 at the age of nine. His mother, Jane, and his family have kept his memory alive with this activity, and all proceeds benefit St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

“He loved to play golf. We’re not golfers, but he was,” Gerdes said. “It’s a good way to get everybody together and remember him and the kids of St. Jude.”
