Lauren and Spencer Day Memorial Golf Tournament
The
11th Annual Lauren and Spencer Day Memorial Golf Tournament and Walk at Rich Valley Golf Course will be held on June 15, 2019, to raise money for the Lauren and Spencer Day Foundation, which was established to assist families in need in our community during a major medical crisis. This Foundation was started by friends of the Day family while Lauren was battling leukemia. Lauren lost her battle with leukemia in 2000, but the Foundation continued. When Lauren’s brother Spencer died in an automobile accident, his name was added to the Foundation. This cause is near to Trinity's heart, as both Lauren and Spencer died while students at Trinity.
