DONATIONS

Proceeds from this tournament go to the Spencer-Wilkinson Scholarship Fund, which started in 1996, which helps ensure that promising young girls - or simply those who love the game - from Virginia are provided an opportunity to continue their pursuit of higher education at colleges and universities.

 

The cornerstones behind the creating and funding of Spencer-Wilkinson scholarships are Debbie Spencer and Mary Nell Wilkinson. Both played collegiate golf at the College of William & Mary and are longtime supporters of the scholarship foundation.

Those who wish to make an additional contribution to the VSGA-VIP Scholarship Foundation may do so. Please make checks payable (separate from entry fee) to the Spencer-Wilkinson Fund. If you would like to donate to any other specific area please specify on the check.
