More about the Scholarship
Funds raised from the Tommy Tant are awarded in scholarships to contestants and volunteers that help organize the event. "The scholarship I received from the Tommy Tant Classic has really helped me financially. I'm attending nursing school at the University of Florida and I used the money to buy scrubs and a stethoscope and some other equipment I need for my classes," said Kelly Novak, a native a Flagler Beach, who was awarded a previous scholarship.
In addition to using funds to award scholarships, the Tommy Tant also donates to the Flagler Resource Center. In past years, some of the younger competitors joined the Tant Family and other event organizers on a grocery shopping spree to line the shelves of the Resource Center's food pantry. "At least 18 kids showed up to shop for the resource center that day," said Devin Ricke, a contestant and a scholarship winner from last year Classic. "We had about a dozen carts of groceries and the receipt was at least eight feet long. It was great to be able to help out like that and it was a whole heck of a lot of fun."
