Story by James H. Cole for Funerals
2026 Heroes & Hope Calendar
This month we honor Renee Fluker, Founder and CEO of College Career & Beyond | Midnight Golf. A nonprofit she launched in 2001 to equip young people with the skills and confidence to excel in college and life. Since its inception, Midnight Golf has guided more than 3,000 students toward post-secondary education.
Known affectionately as “Ms. Renee,” she oversees daily operations, donor engagement, and mentors the 250 high school seniors who participate in the program annually—often devoting evenings and weekends to their growth.
Every year, James H. Cole Legacy Foundation creates a calendar to celebrate the heroes in our community who are making a difference every day, from first responders to doctors to innovators. You can learn more about Learn more about our annual calendar initiative by following us on social media.
