To keep Bonita L. Haynes memory alive, the Lima Affiliate of the National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice, along with other local nonprofits, hosts a Memorial Golf Scramble in her name.

Councilman Derry Glenn wants residents to honor the memory of Haynes, who was a case manager at the Lima Correctional Institution and was brutally killed by two inmates on Aug. 6, 1996.

To keep her memory alive, the Lima affiliate of the National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice (NABCJ) established the Bonita Haynes Memorial Scholarship. It is funded in part by an annual golf scramble, which organizers hope will continue to grow in both participation and sponsorship to increase the amount raised.
