Default The Channon Gail Christian Memorial Golf Tournament

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.
