The Trevor Frederickson Memorial Fund Committee has announced plans for the 4th Annual T-Fred Memorial Golf Tournament to be held Saturday, August 11, at the Nishna Hills Golf Course. Frederickson, the son of Darrin and Melanie Petty of Atlantic and Gary and Kari Frederickson of Council Bluffs, was 21 years old when he lost his life in a 2009 home fire.

In his memory, a four person best ball tournament will begin at 9 a.m with prizes awarded in four flights and on every hole. A silent auction, t-shirt and bracelet sales, 50/50 raffle, and free will donation meal will be held all day in the club house. The meal will consist of a hot dog or hamburger, chips, and homemade cookie or bar. This year’s tournament will also feature Country Artist Randy Burk performing live on the back patio from 4-6p.m. Burk, an Atlantic native, has released two albums and toured the Midwest, West Coast, and Europe averaging 200 shows a year.

“When Randy said he wanted to do something to get behind us, I was taken aback,” said Melanie Petty. “He is an awesome talent and to be able to offer his level of entertainment to our visitors and golfers is something I never imagined we would be able to do. Ironically, Randy has even shared the stage with Jason Aldean, whose song ‘Tattoos On This Town’ is the tournament’s theme this year. We are so excited to have him!”

Proceeds from the event have funded three annual scholarships and donations to a wide variety of recipients including the Atlantic Food Pantry, AHS Athletics Department, school and public libraries, Friends of Lake Anita’s fishing clinic, Kiwanis Club’s bicycle helmet and bicycle safety reward programs, Cass County Fair, Atlantic Parks and Recreation, Nishna Valley Family YMCA’s Partnership With Youth program, Atlantic Little League’s Trevor Frederickson Baseball/Softball Clinics, and The Compassionate Friends. Photos recapping the over $35,000 in donations given to date will be on display in the club house.
