The annual George DeSalvia Memorial Golf Tournament will be held at Orange County National Golf Club on Saturday, May 30, 2009. The cost is $75 per golfer or $300 per foursome. The registration fee includes golf, lunch buffet and foursome picture. Sponsorships for the event are still available.
The event is played in memory of Orlando Police Officer George DeSalvia who was shot and killed in the line of duty on February 3, 2000. He was backing up a fellow officer on a traffic stop when the driver jumped out of the car and began shooting, hitting George one time in the head and killing him. George left behind three children and a lifetime of memories.
The scholarship has been set up in his name at the University of Central Florida to benefit students majoring in criminal justice.
