PLAINFIELD – The first Nate Fox Scholarship Golf outing will be Sunday at Whitetail Ridge Golf Course in Yorkville. It honors the memory of Nate Fox, who was killed in December while getting out of his car at his Bloomingdale home.

Fox was a gifted athlete who went on to play basketball for Boston College, the University of Maine and, eventually, professionally for many teams in the European leagues. More than a powerful and gifted athlete, he was beloved by all many knew him. He was known for his warm, honest approach and as someone who loved to laugh and be with friends and family.

The Nate Fox Scholarship Fund was established to honor Nate and his career and character. The fund will award a Plainfield high school athlete who shows the same great character and skill Nate did. Many of his fellow Plainfield high school alumni have coordinated the event to help kick off fundraising for a scholarship in his name.

The outing will be a “shotgun” format, teeing off at 1 p.m. Those who register for the outing will receive the round of golf, lunch, two drink tickets and unlimited access to the driving range before the event.

There also will be a dinner and award banquet for all golfers after the round. Contests will be offered for longest putt, closest to the pin and longest drive, and the event will host a 50/50 raffle with the winner to be announced at dinner. Dinner tickets are available for non-golfing guests.

People can register and find event details at www.natefoxscholarship.com. For those who cannot attend the outing, but want to donate to the memorial scholarship fund, tax-deductible gifts can be made at the same website.
