*EDITOR'S NOTE: The original date of the benefit submitted to the Zachary Plainsman was Wednesday, Oct. 24, but was incorrect. The date of the benefit is Saturday, Oct. 27.*

On April 26, 2010, the unthinkable happened to the Crochet family of Zachary.

Keith Crochet, a husband, father, grandfather, brother, friend, coach and much more to many people, was diagnosed with glioblastoma at the age of 54. Glioblastoma is the most common and most aggressive malignant form of brain tumor in humans.

Following a resection of the tumor, Keith suffered a stroke leaving him with paralysis on the left side of his body. He was given three to six months at best, and was told that he could go to sleep and not wake up on any given morning.

The family has been blessed with two and a half wonderful years with Keith and they are grateful for every day with him.

All proceeds raised from the Keith Crochet Benefit Golf tournament will go toward medical bills and expenses.

The Keith Crochet Benefit Golf Tournament will be held Saturday, Oct. 27, from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. at Fennwood Country Club, 6003 Fennwood Dr., in Zachary.

The format will be a 4-man Scramble. Breakfast and lunch will be provided, and an auction and raffle will also be held.
