The Western Golf Association (WGA) awarded Dennis O’Keefe, CATA general counsel, with the Donald D. Johnson Lifetime Achievement Award for his work with the Evans Scholarship. The mission of the Western Golf Association/Evans Scholars Foundation is as follows: “We change lives — on golf courses, in classrooms, and in communities. Our world-class amateur and professional golf events enable us to provide deserving caddies with transformational college educational experiences that go well beyond full tuition and housing scholarships. In doing so, we prepare young people to become leaders who give back so that others may follow.”

O’Keefe served as WGA Director in 1992 and as Chairman from 2014-2015. He was instrumental in bringing the Western Amateur to the Glen View Club in 2021, when the club raised $1 million for Evans Scholars.

Congratulations to Dennis O’Keefe!
