“You know, we hadn’t seen some of each other in 20, 30 years, and it was a great opportunity, weekend, to catch up with these guys and see what’s going on today. See how we can help each other. And you know as Buck [Wayne Buckingham] mentioned, just networking and pooling our resources together to help make a difference and change,” said Elliott Lydell “Dale” Davis, a former Clemson Tiger and retired NBA Player.

The weekend included a meet and greet, autograph signing and silent auction on Friday and the tournament atLegends Golf & Resort on Saturday.
