Eerkes Memorial Auction & Golf Tournament
Thank you to everyone who supported our 2024 event!
Packed with exciting live auction moments, a great golf tournament, a competitive horse race, and incredible support, our 2024 Eerkes Memorial Auction & Golf Tournament was an event to remember! Our Yacht Rock-themed event brought so many generous people together, as we raised more than $550,000 for local youth this year!
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.
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. Through golf tournaments, live and silent auctions, and general donations, the annual event raises funds for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Benton and Franklin Counties and Tri-Cities Young Life.
Each year’s event is uniquely themed to create one-of-a-kind memories with friends and family in our community.
