Iscential & Nationwide Insurance to Sponsor Vic Schaefer’s Coaches of Character Golf Classic in College Station, Texas

Iscential and Nationwide are title sponsors of annual golf tournament to benefit the Hope Pregnancy Center, a ministry near and dear to Iscential CEO, Warren Barhorst’s heart.

Hope Pregnancy Center of Brazos Valley and Vic Schaefer are announcing today the companies Nationwide and Iscential as “Partners with Hope” sponsors for the Vic Schaefer’s ‘Coaches of Character’ Golf Classic.

“We are truly honored to sponsor this year's Coaches of Character Golf Classic, benefiting the Hope Pregnancy Center”, said Iscential CEO, Warren Barhorst. “This is a tremendous ministry that gives women an opportunity to discuss both sides, to see the alternatives and how it will impact their future. They receive education, guidance and support that they might not otherwise have.”

“My son was born while my wife and I were still students at A&M [Barhorst also played football for the University]. Coach Sherrill actually had to cut me some slack for most of the off-season workouts because I was busy with ultrasounds and doctor’s appointments. Instead of heading out with the team after practice, I had to run to Lamaze classes. It was hard, no doubt about it—but I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I look into all three of my kids’ eyes and can’t imagine what my world would be like without them. My family is blessed because of the decisions we made.”

Executive Director Tracy Frank commented on Warren Barhorst’s statement by saying, “Mr. Barhorst volunteered to be part of something very special when he tried out for the 12th Man Kick Off Team. The volunteers of Hope Pregnancy Center embody that same spirit. No experience is required to serve, just the drive, motivation and perseverance to be a part of a very special team. We are thankful for his support.”

Coach Schaefer has selected Jackie Sherrill for this year’s honoree. Sherrill is a legend in the college football coaching ranks. Last August he was inducted into the Mississippi State University Sports Hall of Fame to go along with his inclusion in the Texas A&M and University of Pittsburgh shrines. He has also been selected to the Cotton, Gator and Independence Bowl halls of fame. Coach Sherrill created the 12th Man Kick Off team whose story is documented in the book “No Experience Required”.

The tournament will be held on Monday, October 1 at the Pebble Creek Country Club in College Station, Texas.
