Thank you to all of the attendees and donations.  We were able to award  The Alayna Brianne Bowman Scholarship to many deserving students.  Looking forward to a successful tournament in 2015!

The Alayna Brianne Bowman Memorial Scholarship Foundation will be hosting our 5th Annual Golf Tournament at the Fort Walton Beach Golf Course on July 24, 2015.  The funds raised at this tournament will allow local students to pursue a college education.

Alayna was a happy 16 year old little girl, driving her younger brother home in June of 2010.  While turning into her own driveway, she was hit by a repeat offender and drunk driver.  Alayna was killed and 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.

With your help, we can honor Alayna’s spirit of generosity and desire to become a better person every day.

To continue Alayna’s legacy, please donate, participate, volunteer… or all three.

Thank you in advance and Always Be Brave,

The Alayna Brianne Bowman Memorial Scholarship Foundation

Always Be Brave

As many of you know my family and this community have suffered a horrible loss, the death of my precious daughter, Alayna Bowman.  My daughter needs your help to insure the defendant is penalized to the highest extent of the law.

You can help Alayna by writing letters about her and the way she impacted your life through her life, death, or both.  Please send the letters to my email address as shown below as soon as possible.  I will be taking the State Attorney the letters every Thursday and she will deliver to the judge and defendant on Friday.  This will ensure that Alayna  is at the forefront of every thought until sentencing in December.

There are guidelines below that will help you decide how best you can help Alayna and our community.  I want to thank you for your prayers and acts of kindness over the past few months and know that my family is appreciative of all of your love.  I know I will never be able to repay all of you, but from the bottom of my heart thank you for loving Alayna and “Always Be Brave.”
