Tenth Annual Jason Kuhn Memorial Golf Scramble set for June 28
Community Hog Roast to Follow with Live Music and Great Food!
The 10th annual Jason D. Kuhn Memorial Golf Scramble will be held on Saturday, June 28, at Horseshoe Bend Golf Course. Tee time is 12:30 p.m., with registration beginning at 11:00 a.m. In year’s past the event has included a lunch for participants, but this year will include a community hog roast dinner and live music event following 18 holes. *Please note that this is a later tee time than has been in the past.
As a means of celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Kuhn Golf Scramble, the Kuhn family and the scramble founders (Adam Decker, Marc Steczyk, and Andy Wilson) will h
ost a Community Hog Roast and evening concert featuring an acoustic performance by popular, Indianapolis band Virgin Millionaires and cover band Bit A Danger. The community hog roast will begin at 5:30 p.m. and live music will begin at 6:30 p.m. The event will be held at the club house at Horseshoe Bend with the cost of the hog roast and concert admission covered for those participating in the golf scramble. Members of the general public are welcome and encouraged to attend the celebration and will be able to purchase the $15.00 hog roast/concert tickets at Horseshoe Bend Golf Course, at Rush Memorial Hospital or download a form on this web site all beginning Friday, May 2nd at Noon. Separate tickets that will not include the hog roast will also be available for purchase. 
“Each of the nine previous tournaments has been special,” said Andy Wilson, co-founder of the scramble. “We have high hopes that this tournament and, in particular, the celebration will make for our most successful event yet. We encourage the community to join the celebration and support the cause.”
Profits from this year’s tournament will, again, be donated to the Sheehan Cancer Care Center at Rush Memorial Hospital (RMH) in Rushville. Last year’s tournament generated over $5,000 for the cancer center.
To date, the tournament has raised nearly $75,000 since its June 1999 inception, and the proceeds have been used to endow two Jason Kuhn Memorial Scholarships at Franklin College. One scholarship, endowed for the life of the college, is awarded to an advertising/public relations major; and the other, also endowed for the life of the college, is awarded to a member of Franklin’s Kappa Delta Rho fraternity of which Jason was a member. Proceeds from the 2003 tournament, the first after the scholarships became fully endowed at Franklin College, were donated to the American Cancer Society. So far, the scramble has raised over $17,000 for the Sheehan Cancer Care Center in Rushville, the goal is $50,000.
