ACTEC Foundation’s Spring Fundraiser

ACTEC Foundation President John T. Rogers, Jr. is pleased to introduce the lineup for this year’s ACTEC Foundation spring fundraiser. In celebration of ACTEC’s 75th Anniversary and in the spirit of The 2024 Masters Tournament awarding its 75th Green Jacket, the winning golfer of the Longest Drive Challenge will claim the honorary “ACTEC Jacket!” Every dollar you donate to The ACTEC Foundation during the Challenge propels your favorite golfer’s ball another foot down the fairway–the longest drive wins!

The Challenge is open and 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 (the golfer whose ball was driven the farthest during the entire Challenge) named at the end.

This year’s golfers include members of the Board of Regents who are “Teed-up” to represent their ACTEC Region. 

The Longest Drive Challenge ends at 5 pm ET on Wednesday, May 22, with the winner announced in the Weekly Update on Friday, May 24.
