The Dan & Dee O’Donnell Memorial Scholarship Fund was implemented in 2017 to provide tuition assistance to graduating high school seniors. A minimum of two $1,000 scholarship awards are announced and given at the O’Donnell & Friends Open every June.
This service-based scholarship was created to honor the legacy of Dan & Dee O’Donnell and their commitment of improving the lives of those in need through their lifestyle of selfless service. Potential recipients of the scholarship are considered based on the applicant’s active involvement in the community.
In 2022, O’Donnell & Friends Charities processed a record-number of applications and was honored to provide scholarships to 30 students who had demonstrated an impact in their community. A huge thank you to Mentor Iowa, with their partnership, allowed us to provide to so many worthy candidates.
