Chartered in 1959, the Richland Club is the second oldest in Columbia, SC. As a Columbia resident, you probably know this Club produces the annual SPORTSARAMA football spirit event in August at Memorial Stadium. Sportsarama Richland Sertoma's principal fundraiser is Sportsarama, a pre-season football jamboree held each year in late August. The club sells advertising and publishes the souvenir game program. The club also sells concessions during the event and votes on the Mr. and Miss Sportsarama candidates. The fundraiser's 50th anniversary was celebrated in August 2010. Annual Golf Tournament
Beginning in 2008, the Richland Sertoma club began sponsoring an annual golf tournament which is held at a local golf course each year. The tournament, which is usually held on a Friday has been a great hit and excellent fundraiser for the club. We also have always had fantastic weather (knock on wood!). The club provides lunch and dinner for the golfers, along with beverage carts and goodie bags. The 2019 tournament is scheduled for Friday March 8, 2019 at Fort Jackson Golf Club.
