Drive 4 Knowledge
The Herb Ford Jr. Drive 4 Knowledge Golf Classic is our signature fundraiser, a day on the green that has funded scholarships for young men in Cobb County and North Fulton since 1990.
A purpose-driven day on the green.
Since 1990, the 2nd Century Invictus Fund and the Chi Gamma Gamma Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., together with community leaders and corporate partners, have hosted this annual golf tournament in the metro Atlanta area.
The tournament is named in honor of Herb Ford Jr., a committed brother, mentor and advocate for education. It is a celebration of excellence, community and legacy, and a chance for golfers, sponsors and supporters to network while raising money for students.
Where the money goes: net proceeds are awarded as scholarships to deserving young men who have been accepted into an accredited college or university.
