This year, we are accepting both monetary donations and donations in the form of goods or services for the drawing. Both types of donations qualify for sponsorship recognition as outlined below. All money raised (from donations, drawing tickets, t-shirt sales, tournament entries, etc) will initially go to cover the cost of the tourament. Remaining proceeds will be donated to Clemson University and ultimately awarded to an Agriculture student in the form of a scholarship.
All donations made on or before August 31, 2024 will be added to the 2024 tournament donation to Clemson University. Donations made after this point will be added to the 2025 tournament fund and donation.
