Week of Giving Thanks: Day 4
2025 Alumni Scramble for Scholarships and planning big for 2026
Indianola, Miss. — The Mississippi Delta Community College (MDCC) Alumni Association demonstrated true Trojan spirit during its annual alumni golf fundraiser on April 24, 2025, at the Indianola Country Club. Despite challenging weather conditions, dedicated alumni and friends came together for a spirited day of friendly competition and support for MDCC students.
The annual four-man scramble tournament serves as the primary fundraiser for the Alumni Endowed Scholarship Fund. Through the commitment and generosity of alumni, sponsors, and supporters, the tournament raised nearly $10,000 in support of MDCC student scholarships through the alumni association.
“We are grateful for the dedication of our alumni and friends who showed up ready to play—even in the rain,” said Alan Crews, Interim Director of College Advancement at MDCC. “Their continued support ensures we can provide meaningful opportunities and scholarships that change lives.”
Jonny Spivey, President of the MDCC Alumni Association, also expressed appreciation for the community’s engagement.
“This event truly highlights what it means to be part of the Trojan family,” said Spivey. “Even when the weather doesn’t cooperate, our alumni show up with enthusiasm and heart.”
Looking Ahead: Expanded Event Set for April 18, 2026
Inspired by the momentum and generosity displayed this year, the MDCC Alumni Association is proud to announce we are expanding this fundraiser in the new year, officially scheduled for April 18, 2026 and once again hosted at the Indianola Country Club.
The 2026 event will feature a full day of activities designed to engage alumni and friends of all interests, including:
NEW Pickleball Tournament
NEW Mahjong Tournament
Four-Man Scramble Golf Tournament
The day will conclude with the newly established Spring Alumni Social, featuring dinner, music, and fellowship, a celebration of Trojan pride and connection that promises to become a cherished annual tradition.
Additional details, including registration information and sponsorship opportunities, will be announced in early 2026, so stay tuned for more!
