Bill Davis Memorial Golf Outing
Committed to student success and SSU scholarships. Established by a group of Savannah State College (SSC) alumni, the Homecoming Golf Outing began in 1971 as an opportunity for individuals to get together to support Savannah State College. Over the years, the event grew and the support for SSC increased, specifically aimed at scholarship assistance for current students. In 1984, the Savannah State Foundation accepted the charge of hosting the Homecoming Golf Outing, working to increase the revenue the event provided for student financial aid.
