The event featured a shotgun start with a scramble format, dinner, sponsor recognition, and awards. “We want to give back to the Oneida community preferably through sports since my brother was big into athletics and he was an all-around sports guy,” Event organizer Louis Cottrell said. “In prior years we raised money for the lacrosse and little league programs. This year the funds are going to the Oneida Youth Leadership Institute who help empower youth to be- come leaders and excel in athletics. So the purpose of this event is to give back to the community and remember my brother Erwin and have a lot of his family and friends come out and be a part of this.”
