33 rd Annual Ryan Jury Memorial Golf Outing Raises More Than $70,000

The 33rd annual Ryan Jury Memorial Golf Outing, held Wednesday, June 20 at Aldeen Golf Club, raised more than $70,000, pushing total donations well over 1.3 million dollars. The outing is held each year by the Jury family in memory of their son, Ryan, who died of cancer at the age of 23 months in 1986.

“Our family still cannot believe it’s been 33 years since Ryan passed and we hosted our first outing to support SwedishAmerican,” said Greg Jury. “We honestly can’t thank everyone enough, from the Foundation to the sponsors to our community and our family, for their generosity and support and most importantly for continuing to honor Ryan’s legacy.”

All funds raised from the golf outing benefit the kids of SwedishAmerican, particularly for the expansion of SwedishAmerican’s new four-story Women’s and Children’s Tower which will include a level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
