Another year is in the books and we had two very successful events in 2014 – the 2nd Annual Dano Memorial bowling tournament and the 3rd Annual Dano Memorial golf scramble! With your help, we raised over $10,000 this year from those two events – and we are looking forward to paying it forward. The Dano Memorial Fund is awarding 2 scholarships  each to graduating seniors at Perkins, Sandusky, St. Mary’s, Huron and Femont Ross! If you know a student who would like to apply for a scholarship, have them contact their individual school’s guidance office for an application or email me directly at Jarrett.Lang@gmail.com. See the fund’s past winners here!

We now have scheduled dates for our 2015 events!

• The 3rd Annual Dano Memorial Bowling tournament is being held at Star Lanes in Sandusky, OH on Saturday, March 7 (Team Event) and Sunday, March 8 (Doubles and Singles)
• The 4th Annual Dano Memorial Golf outing is being held on Saturday, September 12 at Woussickett Golf Club in Sandusky, OH

For more information on either event, just contact me via email.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the charity events in 2015!

The weather forecast for Saturday is calling for potential rain, and a drop in temperature. We DO NOT have a rain date scheduled and we will do everything it takes to get the tournament in this Saturday! Please be prepared for wet and/or soggy conditions and the potential for cooler weather! If we need to have a rain delay in the morning or at some point throughout the day, we will! Just figure, as long as it is not down-pouring and as long as we do not have lightning, we WILL play!

This year the Dano Memorial fund will once again be donating 2 scholarships a piece to Perkins High School, Huron High School and Sandusky High School. If you are interested in applying at your school, simply talk to your guidance office to obtain an entry form. Winners will be selected and announced towards the end of the school year.

We are 10 days away from what is sure to be a great event. The Erie County community, friends, family members, and local area businesses have shown us tremendous support in this great cause. I hope everyone is as excited as I am to see what this year’s event has in store!

As of this post, we have 39/40 teams signed up and ready to go, and over 20 local businesses and families have shown their support by donating money as a contributing hole sponsor!

This year’s event will bring back the cornhole fundraiser, the 50/50, the cigar and bourbon station, plenty of door prizes and hole prizes, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place team prizes – and even an award for the last place team. And – let’s not forget that the ugly black and yellow football we kicked into the pond last year will find it’s way there again on the eve of the Browns home opener!

Much in store, so put on your best Dano brown and orange, and we’ll see you at Woussickett Golf Club on Saturday, September 7!
