ABOUT THE TOURNAMENT:
The Don Holliday Memorial Foundation (a 501-C3 Charitable Corporation) was formed in 1986 to honor the memory of Don Holliday. District Sales Manager of Piedmont Airlines. The first Don Holliday Memorial Golf Tournament took place in June 1987. The Don Holliday Memorial Golf Tournament has grown to one of the top charity events in the state. We have awarded over $520,000 in scholarships. The scholarship is administered by the Roanoke Valley Golf Hall of Fame which each year awards a 4-year, $30,000 scholarship to a deserving boy or girl from Southwest Virginia who also has an interest in golf.
