Golf scramble to benefit paralyzed Central graduate

The first Drew Crew Golf Scramble will be held on July 29 to benefit the Drew Crew Foundation, which will help in providing assistance to recent Walled Lake Central High School graduate Drew Clayborn, who was paralyzed from the shoulders down after practicing a backflip for the school musical that left him paralyzed as a 15-year-old sophomore.

Nevertheless, Clayborn has kept up with his studies and was recently accepted into the University of Michigan.

The scramble event will be held at the Brentwood Golf and Country Club in White Lake Township with registration beginning at 10:15 a.m. and a shotgun start at 11 a.m.

The event includes a continental breakfast during registration, the four-person scramble, followed by a “19th hole” gourmet luncheon buffet. There will also be a silent auction and raffle. The price for one golfer is $100. To take part in the luncheon only is $40.

The Drew Crew is still looking for companies to sponsor the event, with sponsorships ranging anywhere from $150 to $4,000.

Contact Robyn Freeburg at 248-770-3772 or e-mail robynlynfreeburg@aol.com to reserve your sponsorship. The Deadline to register is July 15.
