The Greg Kennedy Classic is named after one of our Founding Pastors of Opendoor Church. Pastor Greg lived his life as an example of believing and investing in the next generation, and the Classic was created so that you too can have the opportunity to invest into the lives of the next generation as well. All proceeds will go to the Opendoor Dream Scholarship Program.

In 2019, Opendoor Church launched the Dream Scholarship Program. This program is dedicated to empowering the youth of Pitt County and enabling them to break free from the cycle of generational poverty and achieve their full potential. The mission is to equip every student and family with the tools and resources they need to overcome adversity and aspire to "God-sized dreams." We achieve this mission by awarding ten new scholarships each year to underprivileged students, starting in 1st grade and continuing through 5th grade, with a dream to one day see them all the way through 12th grade. Our unique build-up model ensures continuity, with each new cohort of 1st graders joining our afterschool and summer camp program while the previous cohorts advance. Our heart is to bridge the gap between school and home, forming partnerships with students, families, educators, and social workers to foster comprehensive growth in all aspects of their lives.

Currently, the program serves 35 students in 1st - 5th grade. Within our safe and nurturing environment, students receive one-on-one homework assistance, including tutoring and mentoring, and engage in various activities that encourage wellness in all aspects of life, such as physical activity, creativity and spiritual growth. The Dream Scholarship Program doesn't just aim for academic success; we strive to cultivate well-rounded individuals who can rise above their circumstances and dream beyond limitations.
