Memorial Golf Tournament To Award Local HS Senior Scholarships

Some of you may remember back in 2004 when Andrew Wilson Donahue and another high-profile athlete Brad Conklin (who was driving) were both killed in a car crash. Donahue was a 16-year-old promising three-star sports star at Seton Catholic Central when he was killed.

In 2007, Donahue's family decided to keep his memory alive by establishing a scholarship fund and a golf tournament to honor him. They wanted to provide scholarships to deserving local high school students in Andrew's name.
