Gerry Cillo was admired as a husband, father, friend, coach, co-worker, and family-man. His favorite sport was golf, and we are honoring him with the Gerry Cillo Memorial Tournament. Gerry passed away in October 2022 at the young age of 52 after a short battle with stage 4 cancer. We celebrate his life and honor him with this fundraiser in the hopes of one day finding a cure for cancer. Thank you for donating to cancer research.
