On Friday, March 19, 2021, Brewton-Parker College (BPC) hosted their 4th Annual Southern Classic Golf Tournament presented by Metter Ford at the Willow Lake Golf Club in Metter, Georgia. Through the generous support of business sponsors and local teams, the event raised over $20,000. These funds will be used to transform the lives of the students academically and spiritually.
Sixteen teams competed in this year’s Southern Classic. Judge Howard Kaufold’s team placed first, followed by Walker Edge’s team in second with Team Handy Andy in third.
The Southern Classic serves as a fundraiser for the college. Twenty community businesses supported BPC through various sponsorship levels.
