It's almost time for the WS Foundation's annual golf tournament - the Dr. Jack E. Campbell Classic - set for tomorrow, Aug. 13.

With it comes the exciting Helicopter Golf Ball Drop event!
And it's not too late for you to get in on this unique fundraiser!

The 2026 Helicopter Golf Ball Drop will take place at 12:40 PM during the tournament.
Numbered golf balls will be loaded onto a helicopter and dropped to a designated hole.
The ball in the hole or closest to the pin will win.

You have to be in it to win it!
Golf balls can be purchased for $10 each.
You can purchase them online at www.wsccathletics.com/scgolf

You do not need to be present to win, and entrants must be 18 or older to purchase a ticket.

Thank you in advance for your support of Walters State Athletics!
Best of luck!

Congratulations to THREE of our former Senators for being selected in the MLB draft over the weekend!

We had a wonderful day this afternoon on our Sevier County Campus to wrap up this year's race series!

Mother Nature threw us a bone for both race days - and the memories we made on the courses were just as bright!

A huge shoutout to all of our sponsors, registrants, and participants for supporting the WS Foundation and making these events a blast to host year after year.

Keep an eye on our calendar as we plan more events throughout the rest of the year - we can't wait to see you back on campus next time!
