Our Sips for Scholars event recently brought a memorable night of fun and inspiring stories to Charlotte, North Carolina! Held at the iconic NASCAR Hall of Fame, this gala celebrated young cancer survivors and their journey towards Bright Futures. The evening featured award-winning actress and advocate Yolonda Ross, who helped drive a program celebrating past and current scholarship recipients.

Guests enjoyed delectable food, refreshing drinks, and powerful stories of transformation.

32nd Annual Classy Golf Classic “Golf of Ages”

May 23, 2025 | Coronado, CA

The 32nd Annual Classy Golf Classic was held on Friday, May 23rd at the historic Coronado Golf Course in San Diego!

The theme was “Golf of Ages,” and participants outfitted their teams in the attire of their favorite era. Golf “purists” pulled out the heavy wool pants and tweed jackets. Those who idolize Bobby Jones, slipped into some nifty plus fours and sharp ties. And 70’s lovers were the grooviest of all! It was an incredible day of golf, food and frivolity, all in support of Cancer for College.

Thank you to our Classy partners!
