Mulligans for Mike Golf Tournament
Saturday, May 17, 11:30am
Lion's Golf Course

The Mike Adelman Memorial Golf Association was formed in the fall of 2001 with the goal of raising money and awareness for the fight against violent crime. The main beneficiaries are Capital Area Crime Stoppers and People Against Violent Crime, which is a state-wide service organization that supports and works with crime victims in many ways to ensure that their rights are upheld according to the Texas Crime Victims Bill of Rights.

In October of 2000, Mike Adelman was attacked in the parking lot of the apartment complex where he had lived for many years. The assailant delivered many severe blows to the head with an aluminum baseball bat. Mike was transported to Brackenridge I.C.U. where he remained in a coma for 5 days. The injuries, however, were too severe and Mike died on October 11^th, 2000.

Through the efforts of Capital Area Crimestoppers and The Austin Police Department Homicide Unit, Mike’s killer was found through an anonymous tip. Kristopher Ryan Marsh was arrested and convicted of 1^st degree murder. He is serving a life sentence but will be eligible for parole in 30 years.

On the day of Mike’s death, the decision was made by the family to donate his organs so that others may live. Mike was a very strong, healthy individual and his organs helped save the lives of four people. To honor Mike’s life, we host an annual golf tournament to raise money and awareness for these great causes that have affected our lives so greatly. Thank you for your interest and support.
