A golf tournament in memory of a Redmond High student who took his own life last year raised more than $8,000, according to a news release.

Money raised at the May 12 Hunter Holmes Memorial Golf Tournament in Prineville goes to projects including an annual scholarship for two high school seniors, installing the “Safe Oregon” app on Redmond School District laptop computers, suicide prevention speakers and a video encouraging kindness and empathy to be show in Redmond High mentor classes.

Holmes’s family is meeting with athletic trainers and doctors to learn about bringing awareness of the impact of concussions on the brain.

Holmes, a golf and soccer captain at Redmond, committed suicide Dec. 14, not long after suffering a concussion.

The golf tournament had 160 players, with 215 in attendance for the dinner and drawing, which had more than 50 donors. For more information, contact hhmemorialfund@yahoo.com or donate to the fund at Selco credit union, account No. 616333.

“We are blown away by the support and attendance by the community,” Travis and Erika Holmes, Hunter’s parents, said in a statement.

The 2019 Hunter Holmes tournament has already been scheduled for May 18, also at Meadow Lakes in Prineville.
