It is with very full and gracious hearts that we get to announce today, on the 7th anniversary of losing sweet Charlie, that The Charlie Guedon Memorial Scholarship has officially donated over $100,000 in our favorite cowboy's name. What started as a simple plan to give one scholarship a year to a local senior has grown beyond our wildest dreams.

Charlie was so full of love, and he never met a stranger. He had a big hug and an even bigger smile for everyone he met. Whether he was riding a horse, cheering on Mississippi State or AC, or just playing with his friends, he was always happy and making friends! His smile lit up the room and his laughter still lingers in all our hearts. We miss him every day, but through this scholarship his legacy continues to grow and help those in our community.

Our very first donation was during Covid, in April 2020, feeding Merit Health Employees working through the pandemic. From then to today, we have given 19 scholarships to graduating seniors and sponsorships to the following organizations: Brightest Stars Ball, Special Olympics, Harrison Thompson Memorial Tournament, Pieces of Blue, Petals for a Purpose, Miss-Lou Challenger League, Natchez Children's Services Golf Tournament and the Ethan Cottingham Memorial Golf Tournament. Our other donations in the Miss-Lou community include The Natchez Adams County Humane Society, The Stewpot, Angel Tree Families at Christmas, Hope for Lydia, Delta Charter School, and numerous families and individuals who have suffered from loss, illness, fires, or other tragedies.

We, as a Krewe, but more importantly as mothers, friends, and members of this amazing community are extremely proud to be a part of this scholarship that keeps our favorite cowboy's memory alive and thriving through helping our community. We are also extremely grateful to everyone who donates to The Charlie Guedon Memorial Scholarship. Whether you make monetary donations, play in the golf tournament, donate time, money, and/or goods to the golf tournament, attend one of our parties that help fund our giving, or just lift The Guedon Family and the scholarship up in prayer, we are forever thankful to each and every one of you. None of this would be possible without you guys!

7 years without his smile, laugh, and hugs has been so hard, but this mission has made it easier and for that, we are more grateful than you will ever know!

Congratulations Duncan, Ella, and Luke! We can’t wait to see where life takes you and we hope the Charlie Guedon Memorial Scholarship helps you reach the goals you’ve set for yourselves and your futures.

This is going to be a long one, but if you’ve ever attended the Bon Temps Classic, you know that hospitality is a theme from sun up to sun down. We hosted a record number of 168 golfers this year and we have so many wonderful sponsors to thank for their roles in making this tournament as successful as it is. Our Hospitality Sponsors donate their time, money, talent, services, and/or items and we simply couldn’t do this without them!

Another Hole-In-One sponsor we’d like to shout-out is the one and only Tito's Handmade Vodka. They sponsored a team, provided items for all of the players’ swag bags, and donated this gorgeous golf bag that was used as a prize for one of the closest-to-the-pin competitions yesterday. Thank you, Tito’s!
