The 11th Annual Ryan Patrick Kishbaugh Memorial Golf Tournament to
benefit the Carpe Diem Foundation will take place on July 26 at Gates Four
Golf & Country Club.
The event is held in memory of Ryan
Patrick Kishbaugh, a Fayetteville teen
who fought a brave 18-month battle with
Hodgkin's Lymphoma. In 2003, Kishbaugh
died at the age of 18 after complications
from a bone marrow transplant. Kishbaugh
excelled in everything he participated
in, including sports and academics. He
played varsity-level basketball and soccer.
He graduated second in his class and was
accepted to Princeton University. He also
received the 2001 Governor's Award for
Outstanding Volunteer Service.
The Carpe Diem Foundation's mission
is to help provide college scholarship
assistance to student athletes with chronic
medical conditions; support other charitable
organizations including the Leukemia &
Lymphoma Society; promote and help fund
education and research for the treatment of
chronic illnesses; and work in partnership with
other organizations in the community to meet the Carpe Diem Foundation's
mission and goals.
The tournament began as family and friends celebrating Kishbaugh's
birthday by playing a round of golf. From this, the event was born and has
grown into the fundraiser it is today. Now in its 11th year, organizers are
hoping for the largest turnout yet.
The Fayetteville Academy Class of 2002 will host a pre-tournament party
Friday evening at Gates Four. The party is a celebration of Kishbaugh's
30th birthday. The event will feature entertainment, plenty of appetizers
and a cash bar. Preregistration is
required for Friday night on the
website or by contacting Ellen
Brooks at brooksel@mindspring.
com. Tickets for the Friday night
celebration are $30 per person.
The tournament follows a
Captain's Choice format and features
breakfast snacks, a driving range,
player gift bags, contests and prizes,
beverages, lunch and an award
ceremony. Each registered golfer
will receive a one-year subscription
to Golf Digest. Individual golfer
registration is $75, while foursomes
can register for $300.
The event is sponsored
by the RPK Center, Systel
Business Equipment, Advanced
Physical Therapy Solutions, Cape
Fear Valley Health, Fayetteville
Academy, Swanson Reality and
PNC. Sponsorship opportunities are still available and start at just $100.
Donations are also accepted. Volunteer opportunities are also available.
