1st Annual Bill Johnson Memorial Golf Tournament

Together, BIAWE and the Johnson family have established this golf tournament to support other families in our community.

Golf became a therapeutic part of his life. Bill always gave everyone the “thumbs up” sign. Unexpectedly, Bill passed away January 1, 2009.
