26th Annual Golf
Classic Tournament
The 26th Annual Golf Classic Tournament at Whirlwind Golf Club was held
during ATSSA’s 47th Annual Convention & Traffic Expo, Feb. 10. The
Foundation would like to thank the players, sponsors, donors, and volunteers
for supporting the Annual Golf Classic Tournament, which was sold out for
the fifth consecutive year. The golf tournament and the Sporting Clays Event
represent the largest fundraisers of the year that support The Foundation’s
programs. Because of these fundraisers, The Foundation is able to provide
Roadway Worker Memorial Scholarships to spouses and dependents of
workers who are killed or permanently disabled in roadway work zone
accidents. The hard work and generosity of these individuals helps to
maintain the National Work Zone Memorial, which honors more than
1,400 names of those who have been killed in roadway work zone accidents.
The Foundation joined Experience Camps to provide children of fallen
roadway workers a summer camp for children who are coping with a loss
of a parent. The one-week Experience Camps are places for kids to laugh,
cry, play, create, and make friends with other children coping with
similar challenges.
