Eerkes Memorial Auction & Golf Tournament
About the event
Created in 2003 as a way to honor the life and legacy of Laura Eerkes, the Eerkes Memorial Auction & Golf Tournament is a premier Tri-Cities fundraising event that helps support thousands of youth in our community. Packed with exciting live auction moments, a great golf tournament, a competitive horse race, and incredible support, the Eerkes Memorial Auction & Golf Tournament is an event to remember! Our themed event brought so many generous people together, as we raised more than $550,000 for local youth in 2024! Each year’s event is uniquely themed to create one-of-a-kind memories with friends and family in our community.
All money raised from the Eerkes Memorial Auction & Golf Tournament supports youth who attend Boys & Girls Clubs of Benton and Franklin Counties and Tri-Cities Young Life.
