YHC receives United Community Bank donation for Clay Dotson Open

by Steve Esser

Young Harris, GA (04/03/2025) — United Community Bank of Blairsville continues its history of support for the 21st Young Harris College Clay Dotson Open Golf Tournament as Dr. John Wells, YHC President, and Mark Dotson, Young Harris College Vice President for Advancement, accepted a check from Adam Born, president of the United Community Bank of Blairsville.

United Community Bank has supported the Clay Dotson Open since 2010.

"We appreciate United Community Bank's support of the Clay Dotson Open," Dotson said. "Sponsors are the lifeblood of events like this and make them possible. We couldn't be successful without their support."

The 21st annual Clay Dotson Open will be held Monday, May 19, at Brasstown Valley Resort in Young Harris. Every year, this tournament benefits student scholarships at Young Harris College. Nearly 100 percent of YHC students receive some form of financial assistance, so all proceeds from the Clay Dotson Open go toward these young adults' academic endeavors.

Young Harris College thanks the United Community Bank of Blairsville for being a Diamond Sponsor for the Clay Dotson Open and for helping Mountain Lions to reach their academic goals.

Want to play in the 2025 Clay Dotson Open and contribute to YHC students' education? Register at https://www.yhc.edu/cdo-register/. There will be a morning flight and an afternoon flight, and refreshments will be served throughout the day. There is a discounted rate for teams made up of all YHC alumni.
