The Southeast Coil Classic Comes to St. Augustine on April 28, 2025
ST. AUGUSTINE, Florida (February 10, 2025) – When the new year kicked off, Viv Helwig and his team started preparing for their annual charity golf tournament in memory of their beloved colleague John Mark Leach. It didn’t take long for them to realize that the event had grown faster and larger than they originally thought possible. This year, Helwig’s company, Vested Metals International, a specialty metals and steel supplier based in St. Augustine, Florida, unveils The Southeast Coil Classic. The Southeast Coil Classic, held on April 28, 2025 at Marsh Creek Country Club in St. Augustine, Florida, will continue to celebrate the legacy of John Mark Leach and the passion he had for helping others.
“For the past two years, we’ve raised money for nonprofits that benefit youth and their families,” explained Helwig, Founder of Vested Metals International. “The first inaugural tournament took place in March 2023 and raised more than $60,000. Last year, we had more than 200 supporters and raised over $70,000.”
Part of Vested Metals’ mission is helping the next generation, with a core value of “People Are Forever.” It drives their amazing generosity, where one hundred percent of the tournament’s proceeds, from sponsorships, ticket sales, and additional donations, go to their beneficiaries, which include United Way of St. Johns County, Adaptive Superstars, Flagler College, Safe Families for Children, K9s For Warriors, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and Boys & Girls Clubs.
“Our company is passionate about service, with the goal of achieving a $1 million donation milestone by 2033,” shared Helwig. He and his team are thrilled to build upon the momentum of the past two years, and this year are calling for sponsors to make an even bigger impact. Sponsorship starts at $1,500, with over a dozen more opportunities and a top presenting sponsorship at $10,000.
