The memory of Wyatt Spencer lives on in a golf tournament and scholarship. Sept. 23 will be the Seventh Annual Wyatt Spencer Memorial — BKW Class of 2014 Golf Tournament.

In 2009, James Wyatt Spencer, a 13-year-old Berne-Knox-Westerlo student, was killed in a utility-vehicle accident. He would have graduated in 2014.

He shared his father’s love of golf and, for the last seven years, a tournament has been held to raise funds for a scholarship in his name. The annual golf tournament is the  primary fundraiser for the $5,000 scholarship, awarded to BKW graduates “who most embrace and exhibit Wyatt’s exceptional traits and character,” according to a brochure on the event.

This year’s scholarship winners are Nicole Hayden whom committee members write “reminded us of Wyatt due to her indomitable spirit and compassion and her steadfast defense of those being bullied,” and Michelle Ferraino, who “looks at all people non-judgmentally and, like Wyatt, reaches out to those marginalized.”

The tournament will be held at the Colonie Golf & Country Club in New Scotland and organizers are seeking sponsors and donations to raffle. Players must register by Sept. 16. A box lunch is served on the course and an awards dinner follows at 6:30 p.m. The cost is $125 per player. Non-golfers who wish to attend the reception and dinner pay $40 each.
