Pitch for Cancer Research
This corn hole tournament is dedicated to Helen Andersen, who passed away on June 19, 2020, after a battle with lung cancer. Helen was born on June 7, 1957 in Belleville, IL, the fourth child of the late Rita (nee Bechtoldt) Wilhelm and the late Eugene Wilhelm. Helen grew up in Lebanon, IL on the family farm with her 12 siblings. She earned her Associate Degree from Belleville Area College and went on to graduate from Southern Illinois University (SIU) with a bachelor's degree in Accounting in 1983. While attending school at SIU, she met her husband, Michael Scott Andersen, and they were married on June 10, 1983. Helen devoted much of her life to raising their two daughters, Erica Marie Kelly and Victoria Leigh Bland. As a family, they moved around often, and she embraced each place as a new adventure. Helen loved being active. Some of her favorite activities included golfing, hiking, biking, running, and gardening. She especially enjoyed being active while traveling and many of her trips included exploring new cities by foot, hiking through national parks, biking with family through the mountains and countryside, and running around the playground with her grandson, Liam Kelly. Helen also dedicated much of her time to volunteering. She spent countless hours volunteering at the Catholic ministry, St. Vincent de Paul, and often helped out at the local Catholic parishes as well. Helen had a love for life and helping others and almost always had a smile on her face. She will be remembered as an amazing daughter, sister, wife, mother, and "Nana" with a big heart.
Helen is the sister to Robert, Paul, John, Mark, and Tom Wilhelm, all of Wilhelm Construction, based in Lebanon, IL.

Good news. On August 21, the Summerfield Lions Club will hold a fish fry. Therefore, participants in the Pitch for Cancer Research corn hole tournament can enjoy a nice meal right across the road. Beer is also available -- and what is a corn hole tournament without beer? Available brands -- all in cans, not bottles -- include Bud Light, Bud, Busch, Busch Light, Bud Select, and more. Price is $2.50 a can.
