The day was filled with impressive displays of golfing talent, hearty laughter, and a strong sense of camaraderie. Most importantly, it was a day where our members and partners came together to champion a cause that’s deeply important to us all: advancing New Hampshire’s automotive workforce through the scholarships provided by the [NH Automotive Education Foundation](https://foundation.nhada.com/).   We’d like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to everyone who made the event possible. A huge shoutout goes to our exceptional sponsors, with special recognition to [Auto Auction of New England](https://www.nhada.com/partnership-program/partners/auto-auction-of-new-england), our Prime Sponsor. ### PRIME Sponsor Reception Sponsor Air Cannon Sponsor At the Turn Lunch Sponsor At the Turn Lunch Sponsor Golf Cart Sponsor Putting Contest Sponsor **Birdie Ball Sponsor**  [Northeast Delta Dental](https://www.nhada.com/partnership-program/partners/northeast-delta-dental)  **Breakfast Sponsor**  [Volvo Cars Exeter](https://www.volvocarsexeter.com/)  **Closest to the Pin Sponsor**  [Albin, Randall & Bennett](https://www.nhada.com/partnership-program/partners/albin-randall-bennett)  **Driving Range Sponsor**  [ProActive™ Leadership Group](https://www.nhada.com/partnership-program/partners/proactive-leadership-group)  **Golf Sauce Sponsor**  [Gordon-Darby NHOST Services](https://www.nhada.com/partnership-program/partners/gordon-darby-nhost-services-inc)  **Hole-In-One Sponsor**  [ICL Autos](https://www.iclautos.com/)  **Longest Drive Sponsor**  [New England Kenworth](https://www.newenglandkw.com/)  **Wheel of Fortune Sponsor**  [Northeast Delta Dental](https://www.nhada.com/partnership-program/partners/northeast-delta-dental)  **Tee & Green Sponsors**  [ArentFox Schiff](https://www.nhada.com/partnership-program/partners/arentfox-schiff) [McFarland Ford](https://mcfarlandford.com/)  [Phillips Auto Sales, Inc](https://www.phillipsautosalesnh.com/)  [Portsmouth Ford](https://www.portsmouthford.com/)  [Quirk Auto Dealers NH](https://www.quirkchevynh.com/)  [Zurich](https://www.nhada.com/partnership-program/partners/zurich-american-insurance-company)  **Tee Sponsor**  [Ballard Truck Center](https://www.ballardtrucks.com/)  [Gordon-Darby NHOST Services](https://www.nhada.com/partnership-program/partners/gordon-darby-nhost-services-inc)  **Vegas Card Sponsor**  [EasyCare](https://www.nhada.com/partnership-program/partners/easycare-new-england)  Wheel Of Fortune Sponsor  [Grappone Automotive Group](https://www.grappone.com/)  **Goodie Bag Item Sponsors**  [*Auto Auction of New England*](https://www.nhada.com/partnership-program/partners/auto-auction-of-new-england)  [*New England Kenworth*](https://www.newenglandkw.com/)  [*Northeast Auto Auction*](https://www.nhada.com/partnership-program/partners/Larry-Tim-Foss-Northeast-Auto-Auction)  *[TMS Diesel](https://www.tmsdiesel.com/) *   Our heartfelt appreciation also goes out to all the members and partners who joined us on the course.
