South Puget Sound Community College (SPSCC) swung into action this summer celebrating their 30th annual Clipper Scramble golf tournament. The Olympia Country & Golf Club hosted 30 teams, 27 sponsors, and more than 50 student and community volunteers on Friday, June 2, for a day of golf, sunshine, and fundraising.
Excitement on the course included games such as Bet on a Birdie, Closest to the Pin, Eagle Opportunity, and Tee Prize, as well as fun challenge activities, treats, and swag prizes provided by Hole and Specialty Sponsors.

The long-standing Clipper Scramble tradition, took root when Desco AV Founder Dick Scott inspired the idea of having a golf tournament to support SPSCC students. In partnership with the Olympia Country and Golf Club, SPSCC Foundation board member emeritus Charlie Frank continued to build on the tournament tradition, which has helped raise over $1 million in scholarships and grants for SPSCC students over the years.
Vice President of Advancement at SPSCC Kelly Green shared: “We are so fortunate to be able to work with such amazing sponsors and long-standing community partners who have made the Clipper Scramble golf tournament such an impactful and fun experience for the SPSCC community. The SPSCC Foundation is incredibly grateful for the relationships we have with this community. We are especially grateful to Charlie Frank as well as the Scott Family and all of the sponsors and players for their long-standing support of this tradition.”
