Evan Paul Terhune

Memorial Golf Scramble


To celebrate Evan's life, and to ensure that his legacy of generosity would live on, Evan's parents Tracy Sperry and Jerry Terhune created the Evan Paul Terhune Memorial Foundation. Every year, three non-profit organizations receive donations through this foundation: Youth First, Easterseals Rehabilitation Center Dept. of Psychology and Wellness, and the Indiana Donor Network.


They are in need of golfers for their fundraiser scramble on June 6th. If you are interested, contact Jerry Terhune at gltj1159@gmail.com or Tracy Sperry at 127tracy@gmail.com.


Evan Terhune was bright, kind, and generous, and loved his family, friends, and animals. He enjoyed video games and time with his many friends. Evan was soft-hearted & always helping those around him. He was also creative & artistic - both with drawing and with making music. When he received his driver's license Evan chose to be an organ donor. His ultimate generosity was realized at age 20, saving multiple lives and helping countless ore through tissue donation.
