Check in will be held from 11 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. with lunch being served beginning at 11:30 a.m. The tournament has a 1 p.m. shotgun start. Interested participants can email info@thewilliebeefoundation.org to request a registration form.
Clay and Christine Beeman founded the Willie Bee Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charitable organization, in August of 2017 in memory of their son William Lou Donavon Beeman.
Since 2017, the foundation has expanded to not only helping ease families’ burdens (lawn mowing services, snow plowing contracts, house cleaning, catered meals, help covering expenses associated with traveling for medical care, ipad packages, grocery store gift cards, etc.), but also helping families make memories (Great Wolf Lodge, Jellystone Campground, local cottages, Dave and Busters, etc.). And as of 2023, it began a program titled Will’s Work that allows the foundation to support families whose children are nearing the end-of-life with pediatric palliative care services.
