Doeren and Harvey to Compete in 2018 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge

RALEIGH, N.C. - NC State head coach Dave Doeren and former football and baseball standout Terry Harvey will represent the Wolfpack in the 12th annual Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge charity golf tournament. Coach Doeren will make his 6th appearance in the event as he looks to improve upon last year's top three finish while competing for a share of a $650,000 total purse. The team's winnings will be split between an endowed scholarship at N.C. State and Wake County Special Education Services.

Wake County Special Education Services provide specially designed instruction including explicit, direct, systematic and research-based strategies to meet individual student needs with multiple opportunities to practice in Wake County, North Carolina. The division of Wake County Public Schools serves students with programs for autism, deaf and hard of hearing students, emotional disabilities, visually impaired students and a host of other special needs.

The nation's premier head coach and celebrity golf event will be held April 29 to May 2 at Reynolds Lake Oconee resort outside Atlanta. Proceeds from the event benefit endowed scholarships at the participating universities and charitable foundations selected by the coaches. Since its creation in 2007, the event has contributed a total of $6.8 million in scholarship and charity, helping make the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl college football's most charitable bowl game.

The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge main event features pairings that include a university head coach and a former athlete from the same school competing in a scramble format against other university teams from around the country. The event will be broadcast on ESPN in August and December. Specific dates will be announced this summer.

This year's Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge will also feature an inaugural Legends Tournament, consisting of 10 former coaches who will be vying for a share of a $50,000 purse that will go toward their selected charities.

The main event field of competitors is scheduled to include the four-time winning pair of Paul Johnson and Jon Barry of Georgia Tech (2011, 2012, 2014, 2015), as well as first-time appearances from Brian Kelly of Notre Dame and Matt Luke of Ole Miss. In total, both the main event and Legends Tournament include an impressive roster of college football greats that features two Heisman Trophy winners, eight Dodd Trophy winners, and a total of 10 FBS National Championships won by the head coaches.
