    Taylor Davis is Salem’s 1st Don Holliday Scholarship recipient in 20 years. “It’s really awesome to know that there’s this group of people who want to give back to the high school students who are out here just playing golf and everything, and having fun,” she said. “It’s a really great feeling to know there’s people who really care about junior golf in the Roanoke Valley.”

The Don Holliday Memorial Foundation (a 501-C3 Charitable Corporation) was formed in 1986 to honor the memory of Don Holliday. District Sales Manager of Piedmont Airlines. The Don Holliday Memorial Scholarship Fund was initially funded by Pace Magazine the in-flight publication of Piedmont Airlines. The first Don Holliday Memorial Golf Tournament took place in June 1987 with the proceeds going to the Scholarship Fund for the past 36 years. The Don Holliday Memorial Golf Tournament has grown to one of the top charity events in the state. We have awarded over $560,000 in scholarships. The scholarship is administered by the Roanoke Valley Golf Hall of Fame which each year awards a (4 year $30,000 scholarship) to a deserving boy or girl from Southwest Virginia who also has an interest in golf.
