In a spirited day of competition, 38 teams participated in the 2025 J. David Russell Memorial Golf Tournament at Forest Heights Country Club in Statesboro, all to support scholarships and adult education program at Ogeechee Technical College (OTC).
The OTC Foundation extended special appreciation to this year's sponsors including Diamond Sponsors: Citizens Bank of the South, Bubba Golf Custom Clubs & Repair, GAF, Morris Bank, and Synovus.
“We are incredibly grateful for the continued generosity of our sponsors, supporters, and volunteers,” said Larry Mays, Vice President for College Advancement. “Your support directly impacts our students, and we’re thrilled to see such strong participation in this year’s tournament. Congratulations to our winners, and thank you to every team that came out to help advance student scholarships and the Adult Education Program.”
The over $35,000 raised during the tournament will help cover the cost of GED exams for eligible students, provide Integrated Education and Training (IET) opportunities, and bolster scholarship opportunities for students looking to achieve academic and career goals.
