NABC Golf Tournament Supports National Programs

NABC-Palm-Springs-golf-fundraiser

Avid golfers from the collision repair industry and local Southern California businesses had an opportunity to tee it up in the desert sunshine at Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort on Jan. 17 for the annual NABC® Palm Springs Pars for Cars Golf Fundraiser, presented by Hertz, all part of NABC Day.

Each year, the NABC and its member partners raise funds to support hundreds of NABC Recycled Rides® car presentations to those in need, NABC F.R.E.E.™ education programs for first responders, and NABC® Drive Out Distraction programs that keep thousands of drivers safe on the road.

When the scores were tallied, just two shots separated the winners, and second and third had to be settled in a scorecard playoff. Winners of the event included:

  • First Place---Score: 53---Joe Flowers, Juan Escalera, David Anderson and Tim Hjort 
  • Second Place---Score: 55 (scorecard playoff)---Josh Cox, Marc Sebastian, Mike Kucera and Brian Von Tress
  • Third Place---Score: 55 (scorecard playoff)---Sandy Panduro, Mark D’Angelo, Roman Castaneda and Cindy Pieper

The winners of the longest drive contest were Rob McGee and Pieper. Closest to the pin winners were Steve Topczewski and Pieper. The NABC Drive Out Distraction putting contest was won by Roy Duplantier.

Following the golf tournament, NABC and its partners hosted a NABC Recycled Rides event, presenting vehicles to three deserving local families in need. NABC Recycled Rides is a unique program in which businesses representing all facets of the collision repair industry team up to repair and donate vehicles to individuals and families in need of reliable transportation. Since the inception of the NABC Recycled Rides program in 2007, members of the NABC have donated more than 3,000 vehicles valued at more than $42 million.
