6th annual Reed Parlier Memorial Foundation Golf Tourney tees off

MATTHEWS, N.C. – The sixth annual Reed Parlier Memorial Foundation Golf Tournament teed off Monday morning at the Emerald Lake Golf Club in Matthews. Hundreds of players registered to help fund the Reed Parlier Scholarship Fund at UNC Charlotte. Reed was killed in his classroom at UNC Charlotte during a campus shooting back in 2019.

His mom talked with WCCB about why the tournament is important. Julie Parlier says, “We don’t want Reed to be forgotten. We don’t want Reed’s name to be just associated with a tragedy. We want him to live on. And so I do this now so that Reed is never forgotten.”

The tournament has raised more than $50,000 in scholarship funds, helping more than 12 students finish their college studies.
