6th Annual BPF Golf, Tennis and Baggo

Each year, the first weekend of September, golfers, tennis players, baggo players, all join up to support the Brooklyn Project Foundation’s Golf, tennis and baggo tournaments held at the Stuttgart Country Club, in memory of Brooklyn Asher “The Bit” Ray.

“Bit”, passed away from Ewing’s Sarcoma, the second most prevalent bone cancer among children.

“She passed away in 2018. Since then, we have focused our energy on raising funds and awareness for childhood cancer research. All of our money goes to the Innovative Therapeutics program at Arkansas Children’s Hospital,” Adamson-Ray said.

Asher “Bit” Ray left a legacy that most people do not know about. However, the Arkansas Children’s Hospital Innovative Therapeutics Program has been blessed by her legacy in so many ways. “Bit” s parents, Justin, and Susan Adamson Ray, started the Brooklyn Project Foundation to honor her legacy. Over the last several years, they have raised over $759,600  and donated it to the ITP department for childhood cancer research. While it was not able to save “Bit,” it has helped others through the research they have been able to do, thanks to the donations of money that the Foundation has donated.

Their lofty goal for 2025 is $251,000. When they raise that, they will have given one million dollars to ACH’s ITP program.

This year they are introducing the 1st Classic Car Show at the 6th Annual Brooklyn Project Foundation Golf, Baggo and Tennis Tournament at the Stuttgart Country Club on September 6, from 9-12 pm.  $25 per vehicle entry. Awards will be given in several categories. Door prizes will be given.  For more information or to register click the link below or scan the qr code.
