The Channon Gail Christian Memorial Golf Tournament
http://www.wate.com/Global/story.asp?s=8230215
Channon Christian's memory will live on in a scholarship fund announced Friday. Her father's co-workers at Rick McGill's Toyota renamed an annual golf tournament in the former UT student's honor. "We want her family to know that they were a part of this family and we want to bring attention to Channon's life from now on," said Operations Manager Mike Bryant. Channon Christian, 21, and her 23-year-old boyfriend, Christopher Newsom, were carjacked and killed in January 2007. The Channon Gail Christian Memorial Golf Tournament will be held June 1 at the Willow Creek Golf Course. Supporters, including the firm's vendors, already have helped raise $2,000 to fund this year's scholarship. Bryant said the firm is still struggling with the 60-page application to get tax-exempt status for the fund. "If someone out there knows how to write a 501(c)3 (nonprofit status application), please call because we are at our wit's end," said Bryant. |
