The Davis Memorial  Foundation , now in its 29th year of supporting higher education, was established in memory of Larry and Mary Davis . Larry was an integral part of the roofing industry for many years, serving on several roofing industry association boards which included the RCA of California and the Western States Roofing Contractors Association.  He and his wife Mary  perished in a plane crash in 1995 when returning from a committee meeting.

Their deaths deeply touched the roofing community. To honor their memory, and acknowledge Larry's invaluable contribution to our industry, the Western States Roofing Contractors Association formalized their charitable endeavors and created the Davis Memorial Foundation. Dedicated to promoting education, the Foundation is a tribute to them.

The Davis Memorial Foundation awards annual scholarships to individuals who want to further their education. The Foundation gives priority to students who want to attend a trade school, or get a college or university degree that relates to the construction industry. Since 1997, the Davis Memorial Foundation has now raised over $800,000, awarding more than 180 scholarships.
