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.
Golfers didn’t have to brave the cold today as they played in the Civic Center Foundation’s golf outing.
Golfers hit the links in Van Wert to help battle drug addiction in their community. The annual Andrew Elder Memorial Golf Scramble returned to the Hickory Sticks Golf Course to raise money for drug addiction education for Van Wert students. The scramble is organized by the family of Andrew Elder, who died of an overdose in 2017. They say that it was important to them to catch people in the community while they are still young so that they will have a better chance of actually being able to help them.
It's a chance to win big money and support local charities at the same time.
An upcoming golf outing will help out students pursuing a career in criminal justice.
