Virginia Beach Sports Club History

Founding

The Virginia Beach Sports Club was founded in 1952 in response to a call from the Virginia Beach Chamber of Commerce for assistance in sponsoring golf tournaments in which nationally known players would participate. Activities have been broadened to include a wide variety of sports related events and projects.  

A Tradition of Giving

The primary project of the Club is the financial support given to athlete scholars from the Virginia Beach  high schools. The scholarship program was only an idea until Mr. Gordon Kavanaugh donated a sizeable contribution to really get it off the ground. The Club has awarded over 450 scholarships totaling over $300,000 since the program began.  Through this program, the Sports Club is investing in the future of Virginia Beach, by helping the education of our most important product – our future.

Jamboree

Each spring the Club conducts its annual Sports Jamboree to raise funds to support  the scholarship program and honor high school athletes and coaches.  The Jamboree recognizes the outstanding male and female athletes from each of the Virginia Beach Public High Schools.  The Jamboree awards are primarily for extraordinary athletic achievements during the school year.  The athletic awards are distinct and separate from the scholarship awards presented at the end of the school year for academic accomplishments.
