In Memory of Blair Michael Phillip James (August 11, 1982 – May 18, 2020)

A Message from the James Family:

Blair was a remarkable man known for his dry sense of humor, brilliant mind, and tender heart. He was passionate about the outdoors, enjoying activities such as camping, bonfires, motocross, quads, and sledding. He was a loving husband to Chantel and a devoted father to his young children, Zoey (6) and Ryker (3) at the time of his passing.

This golf tournament began as a memorial to Blair, to support his family, and to honor his memory. While it will always remain a tribute to Blair, our mission is to raise awareness of mental health, combat the stigma surrounding suicide, and support those in need of critical services.

Supporting First Responders and Mental Health

This year, we are proud to focus on supporting First Responders and mental health initiatives in our community. Talking about mental health struggles and suicide can be difficult, but it is essential to break the silence. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out for help. Find someone you trust and talk about what you’re going through.

Remember: Your life matters. You are important, and the people in your life love you and need you.

Every life is worth the fight.
