Tutty Festivus 2024!

Hey everyone, it’s time for our annual “Tutty Festivus” Golf Outing! In 2016, my close college friend Tom Tutty passed away from complications of colon cancer at age 37. Tom was a great guy who loved everyone, especially his family and friends.

Our yearly golf outing honors Tom's memory by raising money to support local families battling cancer. In the past 4 years we've raised over $30,000! Last years event included 100 golfers as we raised over $8000 supporting David "Whitey" Chamberlain as he continues his fight with colon cancer.

This year's beneficiary is the Wolff family. James (2011 Derry graduate) and his wife Faryn currently reside in New Alexandria with their 6 month old son River.

Their firstborn son Juno Augustus Wolff (born Oct 11th, 2022), was diagnosed with Malignant Rhabdoid Tumor (MRT) and passed away at less than 4 months old in February of 2023. He was a happy, curious, and loving little guy!

MRT, a very rare and aggressive cancer, strikes approximately 20 kids in the US each year. Without an established treatment protocol, an increase in awareness and funding is greatly needed.

10 months later and just 2 weeks before the birth of their second son River, Faryn herself was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer (which metastasized to the liver and vertebrae). She's been in chemo and immunotherapy treatment for the past 7 months.

Even as she battles her illness, Faryn remains a fierce advocate for childhood cancer research. She has organized several events including an upcoming blood drive to mark Juno's second birthday this October!

Their lives are centered around their boys, childhood cancer advocacy, and their Catholic faith.

With James currently taking full-time classes in Mechanical Engineering at Pitt Johnstown and Faryn unable to work since her diagnosis, our goal is to provide needed support in their fight against cancer while honoring Baby Juno!

The average cost of running a golf outing is approx. $8000, so I’m asking everyone to help make the event a success!

Donators / Sponsors ($100= personalized sign on the course) will be recognized in the program and throughout the outing!

Any donation is greatly appreciated, including Chinese Auction Baskets!
