THANK YOU!

Thank you for joining us for the FSCJ Donald D. Zell Golf Classic. Because of your support, enthusiasm, and generosity, the day was not only a great success on the course, it made a meaningful impact beyond it.

Thanks to matching funds from the Barnes/Zell endowment, approximately $40k was raised in support of FSCJ student-athletes. Your participation directly supports our student-athletes and helps ensure they have the resources they need to succeed both in competition and in the classroom.

We are especially grateful to our incredible sponsors who made this event possible. A heartfelt thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, First Florida Credit Union, for their leadership and commitment to FSCJ. We are also deeply appreciative of all our sponsors and partners who contributed to such a seamless and memorable day.

Thank you, again, for being part of this special event and for investing in the future of FSCJ students. We look forward to seeing you April 26, 2027!

Honoring the Legacy of Donald D. Zell, Sr.

The FSCJ Donald D. Zell Golf Classic honors the legacy of Donald David Zell, Sr., a lifelong advocate for education, community, and the game of golf.

Mr. Zell had a deep and enduring connection to FSCJ, serving on the College’s Board of Trustees and the FSCJ Foundation, and helping shape its future through his leadership and generosity. His belief in the power of education was personal and profound: having attended Georgia Tech on a Navy scholarship, he was committed to ensuring that future generations of students had access to the same opportunities. His contributions to FSCJ include the donation of land that became the North Campus and the establishment of the FSCJ Urban Resource Center, which proudly bears his name.

An avid golfer, Mr. Zell was also a longtime leader and volunteer with the Greater Jacksonville Open - now THE PLAYERS Championship, where he served for more than five decades, including as Chairman, and was a proud Red Coat. Naming this tournament in his honor is a fitting tribute to a man who believed in giving back, both on the course and beyond it.

Proceeds from the FSCJ Donald D. Zell Golf Classic directly benefit FSCJ student-athletes, helping provide essential resources that support training, competition, and academic success. Participants will enjoy a challenging round of golf, meaningful networking opportunities, a hot breakfast, lunch, and exciting raffle prizes, all while making a lasting investment in the success of FSCJ Athletics.
