Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU) alumni and friends were welcomed at the prestigious Oak Tree National Golf Course in Edmond on April 14, where 25 teams played in the Dobson Bulldog Classic.
Established in 2015, the sold-out tournament raised $110,860 for the SWOSU Men’s and Women’s golf teams and other SWOSU athletic programs. This popular philanthropic event was initiated by Everett Dobson (SWOSU Class of 1981) of Edmond in partnership with the SWOSU Athletic Association.
Dobson was inducted into the SWOSU Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame in 1999. He has endowed the Everett Dobson Chairs in Business, Marketing, Management, and Finance in the Everett Dobson College of Business & Technology at SWOSU and provided the private investment necessary to construct the Everett Dobson Golf Training Facility on SWOSU’s Weatherford campus. In 2015, Dobson was inducted into the SWOSU Presidential Order of Merit in recognition of his 25 years of service on the SWOSU Foundation, Inc. Board of Trustees, where he served as Investment Committee Chairman.
