A tragic moment that took a 16 -year-old girls life has led to a benevolent annual
event that benefits many young people and families whose loved ones work or served for
the Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office.
The Kaitlin A. Kazanjian Golf Tournament is a fundraising tradition that raises
money for the children of police officers to aid in the cost of higher education or
vocational training. Proceeds also go to families who lost someone killed in the line of
duty.
The Kazanjian family founded the scholarship program to serve as a charitable
service and to honor their beloved daughters memory. Kaitlins essence is felt by her
picture and name displayed on shirts, visors and banners distributed before and during
the tournament.
Perhaps all the great effort in the planning and execution of the event by the
family and numerous volunteers help in the healing process that is crucial after
experiencing such a dramatic loss.
John Kazanjian, president of the Palm Beach County Police Benevolent
Association, heads the scholarship fund and started the event seven years ago after his
daughter, Kaitlin died in a car crash. Because of media coverage of the tragedy and the
court case that followed, public awareness and support for the fundraiser has spread
rapidly.
There was never a charitable organization initiated through the police union
before this scholarship fund, Kazanjian said.
Over the years because of many sponsors, golf enthusiasts and volunteers, the
scholarship fund has raised a total of $1.3 million with $140,000 given to recipients last
year alone.
Ray Griffith, a PBSO officer, has been a volunteer for five years and serves on the
pre-event committee. Prior to the days activities, he determines how much product needs
to be purchased, then he prepares and serves it.
After the tournament, he works on the scholarship committee to interview
recipients.It is a very enlightening, delightful and fulfilling experience. I am happy to do
it, Griffith said.
Typically about 300 to 350 people attend this golf tournament. Family, friends
and business acquaintances of the PBSO and Kazanjians get together to raise money for
100s of young people and to financially assist family members of fallen police officers.
From an emotional and personal perspective of the Kazanjian family, the most
important goal is to honor the short lived life of their beloved daughter, Kaitlin.
It is my goal to keep the Kaitlin Kazanjian Scholarship Fund going strong every year for
as long as I possibly can.
