Scholarship Fund
While the Oriental Cup Regatta centers on the boat racing, the event was started in 1989 as a way to raise money for a scholarship fund for Pamlico High School athletes. Every year a Scholarship is awarded - this year’s recipient was Michael Eastwood who graduated in June.


Susie Eastwood proudly shows off a photo of her son Michael - the 2004 Scholarship recipient.

He was not able to attend the event this weekend because he was playing baseball (shortstop) for the St. Andrews College team. His mother Susie Eastwood says he hopes to “make it in the 'bigs'”, but is working toward a degree in sports management as well.

Over $9,000 Raised
The 2004 Oriental Cup was a successful fundraiser to keep the scholarship fund going. 2004 Oriental Cup Leader Paula Winston reports that "over nine thousand dollars was raised from the sponsors and all the events of the weekend."
