The Bib’s Billfold program, launched in 2018, honors the life and generosity of Scott Bibler, known for supporting students in need. To date, the Sweet Sassy Golf Classic has raised over $200,000, with more than $150,000 directly benefiting Tippecanoe Valley schools.

This initiative not only funds teacher grants but also provides Student Funds at each school, addressing student needs such as supplies, lunch money and exam fees.

Proceeds also support the Scott “Bibs” Bibler Memorial Scholarship Fund, offering two $2,000 scholarships annually to students pursuing careers in education. Since 2016, nine scholarships have been awarded, ensuring Bibler’s passion for education continues to inspire future generations.
