The Coca-Cola Classic Scholarship Golf Tournament Presented by South Atlantic Galvanizing

Tuesday, August 27th, 2024 

The Â鶹ÊÓƵ Foundation is proud to host the 35th Annual Coca-Cola Classic Golf Tournament, presented by South Atlantic Galvanizing. This prestigious event has been a staple in the community golf scene since 1989, raising vital funds to support Â鶹ÊÓƵ, the Athletics Department, and our dedicated student-athletes.

A Legacy of Giving

Founded under the leadership of Dr. John Dempsey and continuing under the vision of Dr. Alexander 'Sandy' Stewart, the Coca-Cola Classic has become a cornerstone of philanthropic giving for Â鶹ÊÓƵ. The past 34 years have netted over $900,000 in support for students to Learn, Engage, and Belong at Â鶹ÊÓƵ.  From our signature sponsor, Coca-Cola, to our long-standing partner South Atlantic Galvanizing, along with the unwavering support of local businesses and friends of the college, this tournament has earned its reputation as a premier golfing event, a testament to the community's commitment and pride.
