Over $110,000 Awarded to Support Local High School Seniors

The Alayna Brianne Bowman Memorial Scholarship Foundation will host the 16th Annual Golf Tournament at the Fort Walton Beach Golf Course on June 12, 2026, at noon. The foundation has awarded over $110,000 to support local high school seniors in pursuing their college education.

June 23, 2026, will be the 16th anniversary of Alayna’s death and marks an almost surreal milestone. Alayna was a happy 16-year-old girl, driving her younger brother home just 16 years ago. While turning into her driveway, she was hit by a repeat offender and drunk driver. Alayna was killed while her brother, Mack, was injured. Shortly after Alayna’s death, Mack wanted to form a scholarship foundation in her memory. With generous donations and much hard work, Mack’s hope has become a reality.

Life without Alayna has been incredibly difficult but knowing that her legacy lives on through the leaders of tomorrow brings happiness to all who loved her. Help us continue to share her spirit of generosity and bravery by donating, participating, and becoming a volunteer.

Thank you in advance and “Always Be Brave”!
