After 20 plus years, a dedicated board of directors and a team of generous sponsors, The Blade has developed into one of the most premiere tournaments in junior golf. Since its inception, The Blade has sought to provide support for local charities, having donated nearly $1.5 million to charities in South Carolina.
Through a continued effort to support junior golf, The Blade began supporting the Dick and Lucille Hendley Scholarship Fund in 2021.
