| This March 21 event benefits SCDNR |
The Harry Hampton Wildlife Fund is taking a tried and true
statewide event focused on the outdoors, and adding a premiere evening event to
it. The 35th annual Palmetto Sportsman Classic is in Columbia on
March 22 – 24,
which is run by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. The Hampton
Wildlife Fund is the non-profit organization that partners with SCDNR to
promote our natural resources. The Hampton Fund is holding their Inaugural
Wildlife Ball on Thursday night, March 21 to kick start the weekend of events
at the state fairgrounds.
The
Wildlife Ball will be held from 6 – 10 at Seawell’s event facility on Rosewood
Drive and tickets are $75 per person. This event raises funds for good causes
that SCDNR supports such as the youth sporting clays and archery programs that
are very popular today. The Hampton Fund is the entity that awards scholarship
money given away at SCDNR events and competitions each year. Jim Goller is the longtime Director of the
Hampton Wildlife Fund, and he is bringing the best food and auction items together at
the Wildlife Ball for a night of excellence.

“I have
been to all 35 of these Palmetto Sportsman Classic weekends, and adding the
Wildlife Ball to the calendar this year is like a dream come true,” said
Goller. “So many vendor come to Columbia on Thursday to get set up for the show
to begin on Friday, and those who support wildlife are always looking for a way
to show their support. The Wildlife Ball will tap into that support, and the
price of admission includes a wild game feast, bluegrass band, silent and live
auctions and a premium gun raffle.”
