A community gathering to celebrate Andrew's life through the game he loved — filled with friendly competition, good food, and shared memories.

Remembering Andrew
The Andrew Kulik II Memorial Bocce Tournament was created to honor the life, spirit, and legacy of Andrew Kulik II—someone who brought people together effortlessly, lived fully, and loved deeply.
After Andrew's sudden passing in November 2025, our family wanted to create something meaningful in his memory—something that reflects who he was at his core: social, competitive, loyal, and always surrounded by friends, laughter, and good times.
This tournament is more than just a day of bocce. It's a celebration of Andrew's life.
Our mission is simple:
Proceeds from the tournament will remain in Western New York, benefiting youth hockey through the Cazenovia Park Hockey Association (CPHA) — where Andrew played growing up — as well as the Genesis Center, supporting local families and community programs connected to causes Andrew cared deeply about.
Bocce is a game that perfectly captures the spirit of this event—accessible, social, a little competitive, and best enjoyed with friends and family.
Whether you're playing on a team or just coming to enjoy the day as a "Friend of Andrew," this event is designed to be welcoming, relaxed, and full of energy.
This tournament is organized by Andrew's family and a dedicated committee of loved ones who are committed to making this an annual event and a lasting tribute.
We are incredibly grateful for the support of our sponsors, donors, volunteers, and every person who shows up to be part of this day. It truly takes a community—and this one means everything to us.
Whether you're registering a team, purchasing a ticket, making a donation, or simply spreading the word—you are helping keep Andrew's memory alive in the most meaningful way.
We hope you'll join us in building something special.
Whether you're competing, cheering, or contributing — there's a place for you.
Bring a team of four and compete for the trophy. Limited to 16 teams — register early.
