Omega Uplift Golf Tournament
Who We Are
Driving Support for Education
"Helping young people to make good things happen in their lives."
The annual Scholarship Golf Tournament brings the community together for a day of fellowship, fun, and purpose — raising critical funds to support academic scholarships for deserving students. Hosted by the Uplift Foundation, this event combines sport and service to help shape brighter futures through education.
Donate & Make a Difference
When you give to the Xi Pi Uplift Foundation, you’re not just donating — you’re investing in the future of a young student, supporting vital health initiatives, and strengthening the community right here in the Pikes Peak Region. Every contribution — big or small — goes directly toward our scholarship programs, youth development events, and charitable outreach efforts.
About The Program
The Annual Omega Uplift Golf Tournament is a key fundraiser for the Uplift Foundation. The funds are primarily used to support our High School Scholarship program and other mentoring programs focused on youth in the Colorado Springs community. The tournament is one of the best in Colorado Springs, attracting over 100 Golfers and a host of sponsors. It is a four-person scramble and business sponsorships range from $150 to $2,000.
In 2016, we named the tournament in honor of out late Brother, Samuel C. Hunter Jr. Sam, as he was affectionately known, graduated from Colorado Springs High School in 1936 and received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration in 1940 from West Virginia State College. He continued his education, graduating the next year from the Worsham College of Mortuary Science in Chicago, Illinois. Sam served his country during World War II in the US Army Air Force. He graduated in the class of 44-J as a 2nd Lt. B-25 pilot and cadet captain of his class. He separated from the United States Army Air Force in November 1945 with a commercial pilot license and was honorably discharged from the United States Air Force Reserve as a Captain in September 1959. He is a DOTA (Documented Original Tuskegee Airman) and a recipient, with other DOTAs, of the Congressional Gold Medal, awarded in 2007.
In conjunction with a great day of golf, we recognize our current year’s scholarship recipients during the day’s activities.
