Inaugural Susser Bank Scouting Classic Benefits Boys Scouts of America
TROPHY CLUB (April 7, 2023) – More than 160 golfers participated in the Inaugural Susser Bank Scouting Classic golf tournament on April 3, 2023, at the Trophy Club Country Club, benefiting the Boy Scouts of America Circle Ten and Longhorn Councils. The event raised more than $250,000 to support the ScoutReach programs across 47 counties in Texas.
Catherine and Sam L. Susser, Chairman and CEO of Susser Bank, hosted a dinner in their home on the evening prior to the golf tournament to thank the generous sponsors for their strong support and participation in this first annual event.
“This was the first time both the Circle Ten and Longhorn Councils worked together on an initiative,” said Susser. “This event raised significant funds that will allow underserved young men and women the opportunity to participate in scouting. Catherine and I were pleased to welcome so many supporters of the Boy Scouts of America into our home and we know this event will have a generational impact.”
Together, Circle Ten Council and Longhorn Council serve more than 36,000 young men and women throughout the area. The participating youth and their families enjoy camping and outdoor experiences in eight camps across counties the organizations serve. In 2022, more than 1,000 young men and women earned the rank of Eagle and performed nearly 178,000 hours of community service in projects to support the community.
