The Fort Hill Clemson Club raised more than $100,000 at their 2020 Recruiting Wrap Up through sponsorships, ticket sales and the online auction. Approximately 1,650 attendees gathered in the Clemson Football Indoor Practice Facility following National Signing Day to watch Coach Dabo Swinney introduce the 2020 midyear enrollees and Jordan Sorrells, Clemson’s director of recruiting operations, lead a question-and-answer session.
OKTOBERFEST
The Baltimore/Washington, D.C., Clemson Club threw an Oktoberfest celebration on October 6, 2019. The event was hosted by Clemson parents Katherine and Vladimir Novikov. Guests were transported to Germany by the authentic fare, lively music and festive decorations.

The Lancaster County Clemson Club participated in the 17th annual Big Thursday Scholarship Golf Tournament, which raises funds for scholarships to both USC-Lancaster and Clemson, on November 21, 2019.

On August 30, 2019, the Central Florida Clemson Club participated in the Villages’ 2019 College Colors Day event, a day after their watch party for the Clemson Football game versus Georgia Tech.
