We are asking individuals and businesses in our community to help support the 16th Annual Ken Vandehei Memorial Golf Classic Tournament. It will be held September 21st, 2024 at the Mountain Brook Golf Club in Gold Canyon, AZ with all proceeds benefiting the Ken Vandehei Scholarship Fund. Scholarships will be given to outstanding seniors graduating from the Higley Unified School District and will be continuing their education by going on to a college or university.
Since May 2007, the total amount of scholarships awarded in the last seventeen years has surpassed $350,000. All of this was possible because of the continued donations and contributions to the scholarship fund and the Annual Ken Vandehei Memorial Golf Classic.
We are seeking event sponsors, as well as donations of items or gift certificates to be used for prizes, raffles, or a silent auction. In recognition of your donation, your company’s name will be posted at the golf tournament.
Review the sponsorship options and choose your option for supporting this wonderful event. It is our hope that Ken’s vision of helping others will continue, and through your support of this golf tournament, that many outstanding seniors in the future will be able to realize their dreams to further their education.

Kenneth Gerald Vandehei
Kenneth Gerald Vandehei, a local businessman, was tragically killed by lightning in July 2006 while vacationing with his family at Lake Powell. The Vandehei family established the Ken Vandehei Memorial Scholarship Fund through the Higley Education Foundation as a tribute to Ken. Ken felt it was important for students graduating from high school to continue their education by going to college. He had numerous conversations with his own children, Cole and Janelle, about the importance of a good education.It is our hope that through continued donations and funds raised by the Ken Vandehei Memorial Golf Classic, future outstanding seniors in the Higley Unified School District will benefit from the scholarship fund.
