July 20, 2026 — Auburn, Alabama
The Long Shot Classic charity golf tournament took place today, July 20, at the Auburn University Club golf course, with all proceeds benefiting the Alabama Head Injury Foundation in honor of TBI survivor Collin Long.
Long suffered a catastrophic traumatic brain injury after falling from a gator tractor at the Auburn University Club, where he worked. His remarkable recovery journey — described as miraculous by those who know him — inspired the creation of this annual benefit tournament.
The event is a partnership between the Alabama Head Injury Foundation and the Auburn University Club, drawing golfers from across the region in support of TBI survivors and their families. The Alabama Head Injury Foundation works to support survivors of traumatic brain injuries through advocacy, resources, and community programs.
Community members who want to support the Foundation can learn more at the Alabama Head Injury Foundation’s website.
