Annual Events

Biennial Golf Tournament

The Ed Brennan* Memorial Banquet and Golf Tournament is held every other spring at Club Pelican Bay and serves as the primary fundraising event for Founders Scholarship Fund.

The next event will be held late March or early April, 2026.

 

The 2024 event was a huge success with over $1.2 million dollars raised. Much gratitude and thanks go to the Event Committees, Board of Trustees, Sponsors, and Donors.

Please contact Founders Scholarship Fund if you would like to be part of this exciting event.

*The first Board was comprised of Edward J. Brennan, Robert H. Caldwell and Jean Harford. Ed Brennan was the first to suggest the golf fundraising event and served as its Chairman. Ed Brennan succeeded Rocky Caldwell as Chairman of the Board for Founders Scholarship Fund. In 2000, the event was dedicated to the memory of Ed Brennan who passed away in 1999.
