Webster, N.Y. — A group of golfers is teeing off for a cause in Webster on Sunday.
The two-day Hermano Cup Championships wrapped up Sunday afternoon.
It was the fourth installment of the tournament, raising funds for Compeer Rochester, a group that battles mental health challenges through companionship.

It’s held in honor of Jason Drago, a late Rochester resident who was a mentor for Compeer.
“Everybody just coming together to rally behind Jason,” said Sarah Passamonte, the president and CEO of Compeer Rochester. “Jason died by suicide a few years ago, and we’re here to kind of bring attention to mental health challenges and what it means to have a friend in the community when it comes to prevention and just remind people that they have friends.”
The event was held in Tampa, Florida, for the last three years before coming to the Rochester area for the first time this year.
