Saint Raphael Memorial Golf Tournament

Johnson Lexus  was proud to sponsor the Saint Raphael Memorial Golf Tournament benefiting the Ryan O’Connell Scholarship Fund. Eighty-eight golfers participated in the event on May 13th, which was held at the Lonnie Poole Golf Course at the NC State University. The Saint Raphael Memorial Golf Tournament is an 18-year tradition, which became a memorial event in 2000 after Ryan O’Connell, a third-grader at the school, went to be with God far too soon. Thanks to the generosity of his family, a scholarship fund exists in his name and is the catalyst for this tournament that also generates additional funding that our Home & School Association (HSA) uses for student and teacher needs not covered by tuition. Johnson Lexus donated a 2013 Lexus GS 350 as a Hole in One Prize and Johnson Lexus employees went out to show their support for the benefit supporting the scholarship fund.
