For the past seven years, industry pros have hit the green at the Bali Hai Golf Club in Las Vegas during The PPAI Expo, in support of the Promotional Products Education Foundation (PPEF). This year 120 golfers took part in the Glen Holt & Fran Ford Memorial Golf Tournament, raising approximately $50,000 for PPEF’s college scholarship program.

The tournament honors the late Glen Holt, MAS, a former PPAI board member and Hall of Fame inductee who passed away in 2010, and Fran Ford, Jr., CAS, president of supplier Castelli, a division of Magnet, LLC, and PPAI Hall of Fame inductee who passed away in 2018. A dedicated supporter of PPEF, Ford launched the PPEF Glen Holt Scholarship Golf invitational in 2014. The tournament supports their lasting legacies with PPEF scholarships named in their honor.

This year’s tournament drew 30 foursomes competing for prizes and bragging rights. The HALO Branded Solutions team No. 2, consisting of Jeff Hall and Pete Toole of HALO/Boost Branding, Grayson West of SAGE, and Tommy Lewis of HALO Branded Solutions, won the scramble.
