Shawn Reichenberg Jr., a rising senior this fall at Northeast High School in the fall, is facing challenges beyond what most teens his age encounter.
Battling the stage III Hodgkin’s Lymphma he was recently diagnosed with, Shawn struggles each day to get better. His illness has forced him to sit out of the two sports he enjoys most – football and lacrosse – next season, while the medical expenses and extended hospital stays have put strains on his family.
To help out, Shawn’s family and friends have come together to sponsor a golf tournament at Bay Hills Golf Club, 545 Bay Hills Drive, in Arnold. The tournament will begin at 8 a.m. with a shot gun start at 9 a.m. Sept. 22.
The cost is $100 per golfer, or $400 per foursome. The fee includes a continental breakfast, lunch and beverages. There will be a silent auction, 50-50 and a bottle raffle. The group is also selling hole sponsorships for $150, where businesses can advertise at one of the 18 holes. The group is also seeking local businesses to donate items or services that will be given as prizes during the tournament.
Donations can be mailed to The Shawn Reichenberg Jr. Fund, 2932 Bristol Channel Court, Pasadena, MD 21122.
