The East/West Golf Classic
The Bill Dickey Scholarship Association’s major fundraising event is the East/West Golf Classic held annually in January.  The number of participants attending the event has significantly grown from 132 players/participants to 550 players/participants.  This event has received national accolades as a direct result of excellent tournaments, sponsors and participant support.  The great weather and golf courses in Phoenix, Arizona is the foundation on which the organization has achieved success.  Our annual revenue has increased over the years from $5,000 to over $225,000 annually.   We have awarded over $2.8 million in scholarships to over 1000 minority students nationwide.  
In addition, our goal is to broaden the horizons toward youth leadership, development and academic achievement. We have had a major impact in this area through the Bill Dickey Invitational Junior Golf Championship. The 28th Annual East/West Glof Classic will be held January 21st - 23rd in Scottsdale, Arizona. 

Bill Dickey Invitational Junior Golf Championship (BDI):
The tournament was implemented for the purpose of identifing college scholarship candidates and providing an Internationally recognized and highly competitive venue for the country's top minority junior golf talent.   The Bill Dickey Invitational Junior Golf Championship enables 44 minority junior and high school players with single-digit handicaps to compete in a 36-hole medal play tournament.  The experience is invaluable! In 2007, Harold Varner, III the BDI Boy's champion won the Wal-Mart First Tee Open at Pebble Beach.
