Ryan's Wish Foundation Golf Tournament Aug. 21 in Gouverneur

GOUVERNEUR – The 2022 Ryan’s Wish Foundation Golf Tournament will be held Sunday, Aug. 21 beginning at 10 a.m. at Emerald Greens Golf Course.

The Ryan’s Wish Foundation (501 (C) (3) nonprofit organization) is created to celebrate the inspirational life of Ryan Saidel. The foundation is dedicated to helping people who are battling a serious illness to “play and live strong.” The Foundation serves people in the tri-county areas of Northern New York: Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence Counties.

Funds received from the Foundation can help offset traveling costs and other expenses incurred by individuals and their families during treatment or hospitalization.

The cost is $60 a person or $240 per team. If you are unable to be a sponsor this year you can still be on a team and play that day.
