This annual golf tournament benefits the Adam J. Skinner Memorial Scholarship of the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation. In the 20+ years since the tournament was established, more than $185,000 has been given to the Adam J. Skinner Memorial Scholarship.
About Adam
Adam Skinner was 12 years old when he was tragically killed in a car accident in July 1999. Adam was an incredible child that impacted everyone he ever came in contact with. He was so clever, and loaded with common sense and he got along with everybody, from the very young to the very old. Since then, his memory has lived on through the Adam J. Skinner Memorial Scholarship.
The Cy-Fair Educational Foundation
(CFEF) makes it possible to award the scholarship in Adam's name for years to come. The scholarship is funded by family and friends on holidays, and Adam's birthday, and a large portion has been donated from some of the proceeds from the Adam J. Skinner Memorial Golf Tournament every year.
The Skinners wanted the scholarship to be given to a student who emulates some of Adam's traits and interests, someone who is outgoing, optimistic and extremely energetic, possibly playing team sports, choir, high school drama, debate, or Scouts of America participation.
Thanks to these golf tournaments, the scholarship amount was increased to $20,000 in 2022 and is available to any eligible Cypress-Fairbanks ISD graduating student.
