A Uniontown family is memorializing the loss of their first-born child Thomas A. Rennecker with an annual golf outing to benefit other local children and families being cared for in Aultman Hospital’s Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Scott and Julie Rennecker, parents of the 8-day-old born Jan. 14, 2005, invite the community to help raise funds for items to make the emotional NICU experience easier for the many families spending a lot of time at the hospital.
The fifth annual memorial golf outing on July 12 at Skyland Pines is $90 a player or $360 per team. The shotgun start of the four-man scramble begins at 9 a.m. Contact Scott at 330-284-3841 or jrenne1428@aol.com by July 8 to register. Hole sponsorships and monetary and prize donations are also welcome.
Proceeds help fund supplies for a monthly support group, family lounge and other various items needed for the private-room unit that cares for the tiniest and most high-risk newborns.
Scott and Julie now have a 2-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter. “Knowing what other people go through (with a baby in ICU), we want to make it easier for them,” Scott said.
