Covington, LA – Ampirical is thrilled to announce the success of its 2nd Annual Client Appreciation and Charity Golf Tournament, held on April 18, 2024, at Beau Chêne Country Club in Mandeville, LA. Building on the momentum of last year’s inaugural event, this year’s tournament exceeded all expectations, bringing together over 200 participants, including clients, industry partners, and employees.
The highlight of the event was the remarkable generosity displayed by all involved, resulting in a fundraising total of $30,000. These funds will directly support STEM NOLA, a nonprofit organization committed to inspiring and engaging future innovators, creators, and entrepreneurs in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
“We are elated to see the overwhelming support for our charity & client appreciation golf event once again this year,” expressed Eric Milazzo, Golf Tournament Co-Chair and Ampirical’s Director of T&D Line Engineering. “The contributions from our clients, partners, and employees reflect our shared commitment to making a positive impact in the community. By supporting STEM NOLA, we are investing in the next generation of STEM leaders and empowering them to shape a brighter future for us all.”
Since its inception in 2014, STEM NOLA has reached over 150,000 children from diverse backgrounds, providing them with hands-on learning opportunities and invaluable educational resources. By doubling the funds raised from last year’s tournament, Ampirical reaffirms its dedication to supporting organizations that make a tangible difference in the lives of others.
Ampirical extends its sincere appreciation to all participants, sponsors, donors, and volunteers who contributed to the success of the event. We are deeply humbled by the collective effort and generosity that made this event not only a success but a testament to our shared commitment to giving back to our community and investing in its future.
