Last year we had an incredible day on the bay and an awesome turnout from the Holy Spirit community, many of whom graduated with me and Ed in 2003 and came in from across the country including Chicago and Los Angeles, said foundation President Shaun Smith of Ventnor. Everyone is excited about this year's event, especially the horseshoe players. We're ready for some friendly competition and a good party for a worthy cause."

Walter Ed Vizthum was an Absecon native and 2003 Holy Spirit High School graduate. His large heart gave out just after his 32nd birthday on Aug. 28, 2017. Leaving behind newborn twin girls and a deep hole in the hearts of his many friends and family members, the Vizthum Scholarship Fund was created to honor his legacy.
