Camellia City Classic Returns to Greenville for a Day of Golf and Giving

The Camellia City Classic is back, bringing together golfers, community members, and friends of LBW for a day of friendly competition and meaningful impact. Hosted at the Cambrian Ridge Golf Course in Greenville, Ala., this year’s tournament promises not only a great day on the greens but also the opportunity to support all students at LBW Community College’s campuses and the LBWCC Foundation.

Started by Dr. Jean Thompson many years ago, the Camellia City Classic serves as one of the Foundation’s signature fundraising events, with proceeds directly benefiting scholarships, innovative programs, and student opportunities at LBW. Last year’s tournament raised over $50,000 for student success, and this year’s event aims to build on that momentum.

“We are proud to host the Camellia City Classic and bring our community together in support of LBW students,” said Chrissie Duffy, LBW Director of Advancement. “Every sponsorship, every team, and every swing helps create opportunities for students to reach their goals.”

The tournament will feature a four-person scramble format, complete with prizes, contests, and special promotions such as “Swing for the Saints”, where LBW Golf Team members tee off on behalf of players. We’ll begin with a sponsored lunch, continue with a day of golf and fellowship, and prizes for our low scorers and longest drive and closest to the pin winners will round out the event.

Sponsorship opportunities and team registrations are now open, offering businesses and individuals a chance to invest in education while enjoying one of the area’s premier golf events.
