Kansas City Golf Classic Raises Over $20,000
The annual Kansas City Golf Classic at the beautiful Falcon Lakes in Basehor, Kansas, is a highlight on the Foundation’s fundraising calendar. We hosted 76 golfers for a day of friendly competition and fundraising. Partially cloudy skies and a few sprinkles provided much-needed comfortable temperatures all day. Players didn’t mind a little bit of rain and got to enjoy a relaxing day of golf and drinks and finished the day with a delicious Italian lunch buffet and a wildly successful (and competitive) raffle. Thanks to the generosity of attendees and sponsors, this tournament netted an impressive $20,500 for the EDF.
Tulsa Clay Shoot Nets $6,000
As always, the Tulsa Clay Shoot began with a dealer meeting and discussion before shooters headed out to the range. With 36 shooters ready to take on the challenge, the event featured not only tricky targets but plenty of friendly competition and great snacks. After a fun day on the course, everyone came together for a well-deserved lunch and a lively raffle that included some much-sought-after DeWALT tools, which helped push our fundraising total to $6,000 for the day.
Madison Clay Shoot Raises $9,000
Similarly, the Madison Clay Shoot followed the same format, beginning with a dealer meeting before shooters took to the range. Another 36 participants tested their skills in the clay shoot and wrapped up the day with lunch and a raffle. The Madison shoot exceeded expectations, raising $9,000 to support the Equipment Dealers Foundation’s programs.
Supporting the Future of the Equipment Industry
All proceeds from these events will be used to support the Equipment Dealer Foundation’s initiatives, including workforce development, scholarships and industry-specific education programs. The funds raised are critical in helping the Foundation continue its mission of strengthening the equipment industry by investing in its people and their futures.
The success of these events is a direct correlation to the strong support within the dealer community for the Foundation’s work. Thanks to the generous contributions from participants and sponsors the Foundation is well-positioned to continue making a lasting impact on the industry.
We look forward to continue building on this year’s success and wrapping up 2024 with two additional fundraising events. See our schedule below:
