Dennis gives details on golf tournament

Wed, 03/03/2021 - 5:00 am

Kanon Layne Dennis passed away May 7, 2003 but his legacy lives on through a scholarship foundation.

His mother, Ginger Dennis, spoke before Jacksboro Lions Club members Feb. 24 about the scholarships for both Jacksboro and Bryson students provided through the annual golf tournament, which is scheduled for July 24 this year at Jacksboro Country Club.

Dennis and her husband Kevin, wanted to show their gratitude for the community coming through in their time of grief and helping in so many ways. They decided to organize a golf tournament.

Through the years the tournament has raised $350,000 in scholarships. This year, the tournament will fall on his birthday, Dennis said.

In the past, the tournament has had 20 five person teams but with COVID it’s back to a four-person team event. A raffle and all sorts of fun things make this a day-long event.

“We enjoy running it,” Dennis said. “Itthrives on knowing we help kids further their education. It’s like a reunion as we see folks at the tournament we haven’t seen in years.”
