This remarkable event celebrated the inspiring contributions of Gail and Paul Whiting, Sr., along with the Whiting Family, by honoring them with the 2025 Fred S. Ridley Grand Oak Award. Their unwavering dedication to education and service inspires us all and makes them true champions for our children.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we had a record breaking event - raising over $1.4 million - dedicated to student scholarships! Over the past 20 years, this dinner and tournament has generated more than $7 million, supporting 415 full scholarships and an additional $2.5 million in endowed scholarship funds. We are grateful to our community for the ongoing commitment to the Grand Oak Classic, reflecting your dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of our students.

We look forward to your continued support at the 21st Annual Grand Oak Classic
