The Durango Education Foundation dedicates the annual golf tournament at Dalton Ranch Golf & Country Club to the memory of Tom Hartney for his many contributions to education.  Tom devoted many years of his life as an active member of the community, serving on the 9-R School District School Board and on the Durango Education Foundation Boad of Trustees. 

Proceeds from the tournament support DEF’s mission to develop resources outside the capacity of the regular Durango School District 9-R budget.  DEF Grants bring innovative technology, materials and programs that enhance the educational experience in 9-R Classrooms. This year's tournament brought over $53,000 in critical support to 9-R public schools!

We thank the many donors and participants who contributed, and continue to contribute, to the success of the event. The Tom Hartney Memorial Golf Tournament is our biggest fundraiser of the year. Be a part of the DEF family and help us support education!
