“Honor the Legacy. Empower the Next Generation.”
In 1971, five young men changed the course of Georgia Football — and the University of Georgia itself.
The Bulldogs Original Five — Horace King, Larry West, Richard Appleby, Chuck Kinnebrew, and Clarence Pope — broke barriers, opened doors, and paved the way for generations to follow.
Today, their courage continues to inspire through The Bulldogs Original Five Foundation, dedicated to scholarship, mentorship, and community impact.
Your donation helps us preserve their legacy and empower the next generation of student-athletes to dream bigger, lead stronger, and give back.
