2024 ALLTRICITY SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION GOLF TOURNAMENT RECAP
A heartfelt thank you to all who joined us at the 2024 Alltricity Scholarship Foundation Golf Tournament on Tuesday, June 25th in Littleton, CO at the beautiful Arrowhead Golf Course. It was a Colorado bluebird sky day and we had so much fun connecting with colleagues and friends on the fairways while golfing for a great cause!
Proceeds from sponsors, mulligans, and raffle tickets directly benefit the Alltricity Scholarship Foundation fund. We are thrilled to announce that 2024 was yet another record-breaking year for fundraising, bringing in over $72,000 to support students pursuing careers in the electric energy field. This remarkable achievement underscores our commitment to nurturing talent and fostering a robust workforce for our industry's future. Your generosity has made this the most successful golf tournament to date, and we extend our sincerest thanks for your invaluable support – THANK YOU!
