Friday, April 6th, marked the 10th Sea Beggar Scramble for Providence Christian College, held annually at Brookside Golf course in Pasadena, California. The fundraiser, which specifically supports the athletic programs at the College, was a huge success this year, bringing in 120 golfers, the largest participation to date, and raising over $40,000 net. A number of changes went into the added success this year, including the tournament moving from a Monday to a Friday, a live auction during the banquet, and a time to recognize and highlight scholar athletes within the athletic programs.
The following scholar athletes were recognized for the highest grade point average in their sport, as well as the highest GPA within the athletic programs:
Baseball - Aaron Gooch: 3.8 GPA
Men’s Cross Country - Collin Vis: 4.0 GPA Women’s Cross Country - Ruth Fleeman: 3.93 GPA Men’s Soccer - Josiah Vanderveen: 3.95 GPA Women’s Soccer - Danielle Stafford: 3.88 GPA Women’s Volleyball - Alexis Le Clech: 3.93 GPA
Brian DeHaan, director of athletics, had this to say regarding the event: “The golf tournament was an incredible testament to the commitment and faithfulness we have from those who support the ministry of the Providence Christian athletic department. It was very energizing
to see donors increase their giving in 2018,
and the record turnout brought a significant amount of excitement. We are looking forward to the continued growth of the department, which is made possible through events like
the golf tournament and the support of our constituents.” Thanks to all those who supported the tournament this year, and we look forward to your support once again next year!
