Wow, what a day! Nice weather, beautiful course, exceptional cause, and great camaraderie all accurately sum up Wednesday’s Joseph P. Caggiano Memorial tournament. It was a very special day in honor of Joe Caggiano and veterans, a cause he was extremely passionate about. We were fortunate to have Joe’s wife Kathleen, along with his parents Sue and Paul, and brother Michael, join us in the morning to personally present the donation to The George Washington University. As you are hopefully aware, in honor of our 35th anniversary, and in conjunction with The George Washington University, we have made it a priority to fund and endow a scholarship to provide financial support to a deserving veteran who is concentrating their studies in the field of US Government procurement and pursuing the JD or LLM degree in Government Procurement Law or the Masters of Science in Government Contracting degree (MSGC) at GWU.
Due to our generous sponsors and participants in Joe’s tournament, I am proud to announce we will be able to contribute more than $25,000 to the scholarship fund from this event alone! I would especially like to thank our Title Sponsor, The Gormley Group; our Lunch Sponsor, CohnReznick; our Reception Sponsors, AvKARE and CACI; and our Beverage Cart Sponsors, EY and Integrity Consulting.
Additionally, I would like to thank our Driving Range Sponsor, Baker Tilly; our Putting Green Sponsor, Brocade; our bag sponsor, Senoda; and all our Hole Sponsors: 3M, Allen Federal Business Partners, Berkeley Research Group, Booz Allen Hamilton, CGI, Coalition for Government Procurement, Deltek, General Dynamics Information Technology (x2), George Washington University, HON, Judge Group, Koniag, L-3, Markitecture, Rendely Family, SAP, and TORO. We look forward to your participation again next year!
Thank you to Steve Schooner from George Washington University for making opening remarks at the reception and coming out to witness firsthand how we, as the government contracting community, can come together and raise awareness and funds for charitable and educational causes such as this one. On that note, a big thank you to the team at the Coalition, as well as the staff at Whiskey Creek Golf Club, for running a smooth and efficient tournament.
Thanks again and congratulations to all the players and companies involved. We look forward to seeing you again at next year’s tournament!
Roger Waldron
President
