Ford Henderson, a true "Lowcountry boy" grew up in Charleston, SC. Almost all of his free time was spent with his beloved lab, Quincy, or on the water doing what he did best - fishing! Ford had a passion for life and all things outdoors. He attended Clemson University where he was studying Agriculture Mechanization.
The goal of Fishing For Ford is to celebrate Ford's life through a fishing tournament while raising money for a scholarship at Clemson University for an Agriculture student. We are excited for the opportunity to reward a student for their hard work! We have officially hit our goal for schoalrship endowment - $100,000!! But in order to maximize the amount of money a student will receive, we are going to continue to raise money for the cause.
In lieu of a formal 2025 tournament, we will be celebrating Fishing For Ford Day on August 9, 2025.
Grab your friends and the ones you love most and go fishing or do something in memory of Ford and send us your pictures (email or tag on social media)! Please consider sending your registration fee (or more!) directly to Clemson in the form of a tax deductible donation. Click here and search Kevin Thedford "Ford" Henderson Memorial Endowment!
T-Shirts available here! Sales will only run through July 27 so don't miss out! An anonymous donor has pledged $10 to the scholarship for every shirt ordered!
