Proceeds from the golf tournament benefit the NHADA Foundation. These events are crucial in our workforce development initiative.

"Thank you to our sponsors, Association Partners and golfers for an amazing day,” said Pete McNamara, NHADA President. “Our Education Foundation is stronger because of you."

NHADA again thanks our Association Partners and Golf Tournament Sponsors for their support. We look forward to another successful event next year!
