Vantage Builders, Inc., a commercial contractor specializing in pre-construction, construction management and design-build services, hosted its inaugural Fore20 Classic golf tournament, with 128 golfers taking part in the shotgun start tournament, held at Stow Acres Country Club on September 26.
The Fore20 Classic, which will be an annual tournament, gathered cannabis entrepreneurs and construction professionals for a wonderful day of golf, networking and an awards dinner. The event raised money for Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, a non-partisan organization that fights to improve the lives of post-9/11 veterans.
โWhile itโs been said that any day on the course beats a day at the office, we really were fortunate to have a beautiful late summer day for the Fore20 Classic,โ said John Connor, principal, Vantage Builders. โCannabis is still a fairly new industry in Massachusetts and the tournament provided a good opportunity to bring people together for a day of golf and networking. Most importantly, we were humbled to be able to help raise awareness and funds for a great organization like IAVA, which is making a tremendous difference in veteransโ lives.โ
Through the generosity of the golfers and the tournamentโs 21 sponsors, the Fore20 Classic raised $15,000 for IAVA. IAVAโs Stephen Mandile spoke at the awards ceremony.
โAs IAVA continues its important advocacy work for the veteran community in the alternative therapies space, it is incredible to see leaders in the cannabis space come together in support of those efforts,โ said Jeremy Butler, CEO of IAVA. โIAVA is thankful for the support of Vantage Builders and we look forward to continuing this great partnership into the future.โ
The winning foursome at the inaugural Fore20 Classic was from Ci Design, Inc. Photos from this terrific event can beย seen here.
