In conjunction with the start of The PPAI Expo 2025, the Glen Holt & Fran Ford Memorial Golf Tournament will be held on Monday, January 13, at Bali Hai Golf Club in Las Vegas.
Supporting the Promotional Products Education Foundation (PPEF), 100 golfers from 40 promo firms raised over $48,000 for PPEF’s college scholarship program last year.
“This golf tournament is a major contributor to the scholarship fund that supports industry employees’ and their children’s education goals while honoring the legacies of two industry icons, Glen Holt and Fran Ford,” says PPEF Executive Director Kathlene Brethowr.
