Dolphins Athletics Golf Tournament Student athletes and BCC Athletics supporters enjoyed a day of golf, lunch, and prizes at the beautiful Ocean Ridge Plantation. Event proceeds directly benefited the athletic department in support of student athletes participating in baseball and softball. Participation in the event helped prepare our student-athletes to excel in the classroom and in their sport through scholarships, new equipment, uniforms, and more needed to compete at the collegiate level.

They are why we do what we do, and I’m grateful to be part of that.” In addition to Presenting Sponsors Dinah Gore and Myong & Paul Jensen, the 2024 Bella Italia was made possible by more than 50 other sponsors and individual contributors.
