The Scott Dawson Evangelistic Association (SDEA) is back for its annual golf fundraiser, scheduled for Tuesday, September 15, at Greystone Golf & Country Club’s Founders Course, 4100 Greystone Drive in Hoover, Alabama. The event, now in its 2026 edition, blends a love of the game with a clear Christian purpose: raising funds to expand the ministry’s scholarship program and outreach efforts.
Event details and registration
Participants will enjoy a full afternoon of golf, beginning with practice time on the driving range before the official round. Lunch will be served in the clubhouse, and after the final putt the day will conclude with a dinner and awards gathering. Individual entry costs $400, while a four‑player team registration is $1,500. For businesses and supporters looking for greater visibility, sponsorship packages range from $500 for a hole‑contest sponsorship up to $10,000 for the Awards Reception sponsorship. The top‑tier package even includes co‑sponsorship of a $250,000 hole‑in‑one shootout.
Contests and prize opportunities
Beyond the standard round, the tournament offers several competitive elements. Golfers can try their hand at a hole‑in‑one challenge and a “closest‑to‑the‑pin” contest, with additional prize drawings available to all participants. These incentives add excitement while encouraging generous contributions to the cause.
How the proceeds help the ministry
All proceeds from the classic will be directed to SDEA’s ministry initiatives, most notably scholarships for students attending the STS Institute, the organization’s training school for future evangelists. Over nearly four decades, SDEA has conducted citywide and student outreach in 32 states, and the funds raised at Greystone will help expand those efforts, supporting both local and national ministry projects.

Interested golfers and sponsors can find full registration details, entry forms, and sponsorship options at sdeagolf.com. Early registration is encouraged, as spots for both individual players and team entries fill quickly.
Why the event matters to the Hoover community
Beyond the charitable aspect, the Golf Classic provides a gathering point for Hoover’s faith‑focused families and business leaders. It reinforces the community’s commitment to supporting Christian ministries while offering a pleasant day on one of the area’s premier courses. By combining recreation with a clear mission, the event exemplifies how local faith organizations can partner with businesses to make a tangible difference.
