There will be plenty for you to do and enjoy during this weekend of events including meeting or reconnecting with some of your favorite Clemson coaches and athletes.
The tournament and other events that have become part of this weekend help raise money to support local programs in the community, as well as, help a former Clemson player that is in need. New events are added annually and different foundations may be highlighted for donations. We create a variety of ways throughout the weekend that you can show your support. Another one of these is the "Wayne A. Buckingham Scholarship". This scholarship is awarded through Clemson to students from underserved populations, such as those with learning differences.
