Golf Scramble in Brighton to Honor Cullen Finnerty's Widow

A fundraising golf scramble in honor of the late Cullen Finnerty will take place at The Jackel Golf Club in Brighton on August 24.

Proceeds from the C-Time Scramble will benefit the former Brighton football star's widow and children as well as "remembering Cullen" who loved golf outings, according to a Facebook post.

"Along with raising money, this golf outing is about remembering Cullen," the Facebook event listing read. "He was a great husband, father, brother, son, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend. We will all miss him greatly but we are thankful for the memories."

In May, the former Grand Valley State quarterback and Baltimore Ravens player was found in the woods about a half mile north of where he disappeared while fishing on the Baldwin River.

According to a Facebook page dedicated to help search for missing people, Finnerty had contacted his family by phone and said he was having what was described as an "episode." He told his family he was scared and then "wandered into the woods."

Finnerty's body was found on May 28 by a search party and reports indicated that the initial autopsy for the 30-year-old husband and father of two was inconclusive with the initial toxicology report negative, meaning substance abuse was not the cause of his death.

Cost of the C- Time Scramble is $150 for an individual or $540 for a team. The event begins as 11 a.m. and includes a dinner, silent auction and raffle.

To register, mail payments with names of each player and team name to:

Checks are asked to be make out to Jenn Finnerty with “The Cullen Finnerty Fund” in the memo. For more information on how to donate or sponsor a hole, send a message to cullenfund@yahoo.com.
