Speer Golf Tournament and Scholarship

It was our honor to present the Carrie On Scholarship to three amazing Slidell High School seniors last night! We are truly blessed by the generosity of everyone who supports the golf tournament to make this financial assistance possible for these students!

The Carrie On Scholarship Fund is in honor of Carrie Reeb Speer.

After graduating in 1978, Carrie began teaching in New Orleans, LA. Anyone who was lucky enough to be a student, a colleague, or a friend of Carrie, knew that she had met her calling, even at a young age. ​

After moving their family to the Northshore, Carrie began her tenure as an English teacher at Northshore High in the fall of 1986. After 15 years, she transitioned to Slidell High where she became a guidance counselor. Planning to retire at the end of the year, her life long quest to educate, guide and care for young students left a lifetime of lessons and memories.

To honor her dedication and commitment to education, the Carrie On Scholarship Fund provides scholarships to outstanding seniors at Slidell High School.

To date, over $70,000 has been awarded to these promising students!

Let's Go Golfers!!

​We invite you all to join us for the ELEVENTH ANNUAL Sam Speer, Jr. Tribute Golf Tournament on Saturday, May 4, 2024!

On October 13, 2013, the lives and love story of Sam Speer Jr, and his wife Carrie came to a tragic end. To memorialize his life, we combined Sam's three passions...friends, family, and golf.

All tournament proceeds will benefit the Carrie On Scholarship Fund. We have already awarded over $70,000 in college scholarships to outstanding seniors at Slidell High School to date!

Our family would love for you to join us for a morning of golf & fellowship including hole games, hospitality tents, silent auction, raffle prizes, food and beverages!

If you're interested in sponsorship packages, raffle items or auction donations, please email [email protected]. If you're interested in volunteering to help with set up, registration, food & beverage or running a hospitality tent, please email [email protected].

We'd love to have you out as we celebrate the lives of Sam and Carrie, and build the foundation for an amazing legacy.

Sincerely, the Speer & Reeb families
