The first annual Juliana – Brandon Memorial Golf Classic was created in memory of Juliana Schafer and Brandon Starkoff both of whom lost their battles with a brain tumor. This tournament was created with three goals in mind:
- To honor the memory of Juliana and Brandon
- To build a community of philanthropic golfers who want to promote brain tumor awareness
- To benefit the American Brain Tumor Association, an organization that meant a great deal to both Juliana and Brandon
