Free range balls and a golf clinic are offered prior to the start of the tournament and a dinner, a silent auction, award ceremony and raffle prizes conclude the tournament.

The 10th Annual "Jack" Hall Kappa Golf Klassic is made possible due to the support of the members of the fraternity and generous sponsors including; Congressman Alcee Hastings, Sunrise Discount Pharmacy, The Dental Place, Anthony's Coal Fire Pizza and many more. The tax-deductible contribution for an individual golfer is $90, $360 for a 4-person team and $25 awards dinner for non golfers.

The Kappa Foundation provided eleven scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 in 2011 to Broward County students and according to Jack Hall, "our Golf Klassic has exceeded our initial goals and this is one of the many ways we seek to inspire members and continue to provide quality services in our community as well as building strong communities through scholarships".
