Thanks for your interest in 2023 10th Annual St. Jude Open in Honor & Memory of Carol & Tom Hryb, Mike & Bob Wuest for St. Jude!

The Hryb and Wuest families are very proud to honor their family members who have passed away from cancer and raise money for St. Jude.

We invite everyone to Central New York for this year's 10th Annual tournament, Saturday August 19th at Pine Hills Golf Course, in Frankfort, NY. However, if you cannot make it, or if you are not a golfer, we would be thrilled if you could make a donation. Big or small, $20 or $200, every donation helps and makes it possible for families at St. Jude to pay NOTHING for treatment, travel, housing or food.

Only 6 weeks after our 2019 tournament, we lost Tom Hryb to stage 4 lung cancer. Tom was ever present at our tournament each year since its inception, and was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle.
Carol Hryb, Tom’s wife, was a loving mother, daughter, wife, and sister, who passed away from breast cancer in 2011. She is missed by many, but having her name on this tournament brings so much good to the Mohawk Valley and to St. Jude as a perfect tribute.

Bob Wuest was a fantastic husband, father, and grandfather, who passed away in 2014 after a six-year battle with prostate cancer. He was very active in youth sports in Central New York as a coach, referee and one of the founders of the NY Mills Biddy Basketball Program.

His brother Mike Wuest, who passed away before him from lung cancer, was a Physical Education teacher in Whitesboro for more than 30 years. His fellow teachers there were instrumental in starting the Wuest Classic tournament in his honor over 10 years ago.

For more information on golf, volunteering, or corporate sponsorships at the tournament, please feel free to contact Jim Miner at jminer327@yahoo.com, Paul Hryb at phryb14@hotmail.com, or Brian Collea at bcol3@hotmail.com.
