ACTEC Foundation’s Spring Fundraiser

ACTEC Foundation President John T. Rogers, Jr. is pleased to introduce the lineup for this year’s spring fundraiser–The 2025 Longest Drive Challenge!  The winner of the Challenge will claim the coveted “ACTEC Jacket!” Every dollar you donate to The ACTEC Foundation during the Challenge propels your Region Chair’s–or your favorite golfer’s–ball another foot down the fairway–the longest drive wins!

The Challenge will take place over a period of four weeks: one round per week, with a winner announced each week (the golfer whose ball was driven the farthest during that week), and an overall Challenge winner announced at the end (the golfer whose ball was driven the farthest during the entire Challenge).

This year’s golfers include members of the State Chairs Steering Committee, who are “teed-up” to represent their ACTEC Region.

The Longest Drive Challenge ends at 5:00 pm ET on Wednesday, May 21, with the winner announced in the Weekly Update on Friday, May 23.

Last year the Challenge raised a record $40,000 to fund the important trust and estate programs made possible by The Foundation. Help your Region Chair beat that record this year!
