MOUNT VERNON, Ga. — Brewton-Parker College hosted its 7th Annual Southern Classic Golf Tournament, presented by Metter Ford at the Willow Lake Golf Club, in Metter, Ga., on Friday, April 5, 2024. Through the generous support of business sponsors and local teams, the event had 84 players and raised over $30,000. These funds will be used to transform the lives of our students on both an academic and spiritual level.
