On Friday, April 1, Brewton-Parker College (BPC) hosted their 5th Annual Southern Classic Golf Tournament presented by Metter Ford at the Willow Lake Golf Club in Metter. Through the generous support of business sponsors and local teams, the event raised over $30,000. These funds will be used to transform the lives of the students academically and spiritually. Nineteen teams competed in this year’s Southern Classic. This year’s turnout is the biggest so far, thanks to the generous support of local businesses and support from the faculty, staff, and students of

BPC. The Southern Classic serves as a fundraiser for the college. Twenty-six community businesses supported BPC through various sponsorship levels. Bank of Soperton’s team placed first, followed by The City of Mount Vernon’s team in second with Team Handy Andy in third. BPC would like to thank all of the Southern Classic sponsors: Presenting Sponsor – Metter Ford; Champion Sponsor – Pineland TelCo and Responsive Technology Partners; Partner Sponsors – Altamaha Bank and Trust, Chick-fil-A of Vidalia, Mount Vernon Bank, and Turnipseed Engineers; Friend Sponsor – DOT Foods, Farm Bureau Georgia, Meridy’s Uniforms, and all the individual Hole Sponsors.

Chad Ritchie, BPC’s Director of Advancement, stated, “Wonderful weather and fellowship made this year’s Southern Classic a great success for BPC. The support of local businesses and individuals was overwhelming. I am amazed at the generosity of our community and encouraged by their continued partnerships. BPC looks forward to growing the tournament each year. We are grateful to all of the sponsors and players who made the 2022 BPC Southern Classic an event to remember.”
