Eagle Grove Boy’s Cancer Fight Benefit Set for Aug. 22 at Oakridge Golf Course

GOLDFIELD, Iowa — A benefit fundraiser for a 13-year-old Eagle Grove boy battling a rare and aggressive form of cancer is set for Saturday, Aug. 22, 2026, at Oakridge Golf Course in Goldfield.

Orlando’s Fight Against Cancer Benefit Fundraiser will include a four-man team golf tournament, a free-will donation meal, a kids zone and a silent auction.

Orlando was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma in May 2026, organizers said. Ewing sarcoma is a rare, aggressive cancer that affects the bones and the soft tissue surrounding them. Orlando is expected to undergo treatment in Iowa City over the next seven to nine months.

The golf tournament will feature nine holes played in four-man teams, with sign-in required by 2 p.m., organizers said.

A free-will donation meal will be served at 5 p.m., with a menu of pulled pork, cheesy potatoes, baked beans, chips and baked goods, according to organizers.

A kids zone will run from 3 to 7 p.m. and will include inflatables, popcorn, cotton candy and snow cones, organizers said. A silent auction also will be held during the event.
