Memorial Golf Tournament

My sweet Daddy was passionate about education and the public school system. He had real conviction that all children should be given the opportunity to learn. An idealist? Maybe, but I feel inspired that his actions supported the kind of change he dreamt of bringing into the world. After he passed away my mom, along with the Texas Tech Alumni club, began a golf tournament to raise money for two Rockwall High school seniors going to Texas Tech University (consequently the rest of my family's Alma mater). We have raised over $65,000.00 over the last three years and this year's event will only add to that number!






Thank you so much to everyone who came, gave, supported and played in the name of my dad and education. This is such a special day for our family as we continue in a small way to pass the torch Tommy Jack handed us. I love that I still learn from him even though his physical body is no longer with us.
