A Caldwell High School student has organized a charity golf tournament for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Cameron Scitern, 17, has raised more than $23,000.00 for the JDRF.

Scitern says, "I want people to realize there are more important things in life than themselves and hopefully I will motivate others to do the same."

If you would like to help Cameron and his celebrity sponsor, LaTroy Hawkins -- a pitcher for the New York Yankees, raise money for the foundation, you can join the 4-man scramble on July 14th at Traditions Golf Club in Bryan.

The cost is $100 per player. The entry fee includes the green fee, cart, Traditions gift bag, and a meal donated by Cotton Patch Café.

For more information, call (512) 446-3366, or, email Cameron at : cameron@cameronschiterngolf.com
