Jimmy Headrick – The BC Cup Foundation on GiveNOLA!
A Brief History
The Colin Cup Foundation was founded in 1994 in memory of my son Colin. In 2005 when Eastover was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, where I was the director of golf, the future of the Colin Cup was uncertain. My former PGA Apprentice at Beau Chene and Eastover Tim Hogan was now the director of golf at Money Hill. He said, “Jimmy, don’t worry about a thing, I will host the Colin Cup Championship and raise funds for the annual college scholarships.” Tim had also lost his son Barry and I told Tim that was very thoughtful of you. I told Tim I would do this under one condition, that we change the name to the BC Cup Foundation in memory of both our sons.
Today we are in our 31st year. During this time, we have awarded 101 college scholarships and each year we hold the BC Cup Championship at The Club at Diamondhead as a part of the Kelly Gibson Junior Golf Tour. Honestly, I don’t enjoy raising funds. What I thought would be a year or two program is now 31 years old. However, the cause is so important in helping young people follow their dreams, it is so worth all the effort I put into this.
Your support in my mission in helping the youth of our area is an investment for a lifetime. College scholarships work for our children all the way through their lives. Your donation, no matter the amount, makes a difference and I am most grateful to you.

A Sincere Message from Jimmy Headrick
What started out 30 years ago as a tribute in memory of my son Colin, years later also became a tribute to my longtime fellow PGA member Tim Hogan’s son Barry, honoring both brief lives. The B.C. Cup Foundation has made a solid impact in young people’s lives. To date, 100 college scholarships have been awarded, surpassing $400,000 in private donations. The annual B.C. Cup Junior Golf Championship is held at The Club at Diamondhead as an ongoing part of the Kelly Gibson Junior Golf Tour. We award our scholarships each year at the annual Kelly Gibson Foundation Banquet. The support of caring people like you, no matter the amount keeps our mission moving forward. Raising funds is something I personally do not enjoy doing, asking friends for donations, yet when the cause means so much, I look forward to seeing these scholarships go to work.
