This exclusive event includes dinner on Friday, September 26, at the JW Marriott Tampa Water Street for golfers spouses, and other guests, followed by a golf tournament on Monday, September 29, at Old Memorial Golf Club.

Join us in honoring the Whiting Family with the 2025 Fred S. Ridley Grand Oak Award. The Fred S. Ridley Grand Oak Award recognizes an outstanding community leader or a family that possesses a strong sense of mission, giving back to others and has made a significant and lasting impact in the Tampa Bay community.

Sponsorship may include dinner for 10 guests, recognition on all event signage and marketing materials, verbal recognition at the dinner program and more. At this time, there is currently a waitlist to play in the tournament.

The dinner is a wonderful opportunity to interact with our students, alumni, and Head of School, Lincoln Tamayo. Proceeds benefit the Academy Prep Center of Tampa Student Scholarship Fund. By attending the dinner, playing in the tournament, or sponsoring the event, you will have a direct impact on our students' education.
