“We’re grateful to the companies and individuals who sponsored and golfed in this year’s outing,” said Kelle Pack, vice president of the Owens Institutional Advancement Office and executive director of the Owens Community College Foundation. “It was a beautiful day, and the support we received will go directly to our students. This year’s proceeds will give our students hands-on experience with the technology they’ll use in their careers.”

This year’s event was rescheduled from its original date in September due to course conditions.

The Golf Classic, which was played at Belmont Country Club, has generated more than $1 million in support of Owens Community College since its inception.

The 25^th Golf Classic is scheduled for Monday, September 13, 2027, at Belmont Country Club.

The Owens Community College Foundation has provided more than $8 million in support for student scholarships and program and capital assistance since 2002. Visit owens.edu/foundation to learn more about how to support Owens Community College.
