Its purpose is to provide funds for scholarships for students attending Holmes as well as provide funds to support other educational activities of the college, such as faculty development, modernization of classroom equipment, student development activities and sponsorship of capital improvement campaigns. The Annual Golf Classic raises money for the Holmes Foundation through corporate/team sponsorships, hole sponsorships and mulligan cards. This year’s door prizes were donated by Meagan and Bill Fitts (WHIM Pottery), Geiger Marketing (Jennifer Rebich), J. Olive, Joe T.’s Wine & Spirits, North American Coal – Red Hills Mine, Paul Shelton, S&S Recovery and Soulshine Pizza Factory.
