Get out your golf clubs and start practicing – we are pleased to officially announce that the Coalition’s 3rd Annual Joseph P. Caggiano Memorial Golf Tournament will be held on August 26th at the beautiful Whiskey Creek Golf Club in Ijamsville, MD. As many of you are aware, this charity tournament is to honor our good friend and colleague, Joe Caggiano, who was not only a 23-year veteran of the federal contracting marketplace but a naval veteran as well.
With that in mind, once again, this year’s tournament proceeds will be going to support the Coalition’s endowed scholarship for a qualified veteran concentrating their studies in the field of US Government procurement and pursuing the JD/LLM degree or the interdisciplinary Masters degree at The George Washington University. Joe would be so proud of this scholarship as it encourages the next generation of skilled professionals and veterans to lead this critically important sector of the US economy. The Coalition created this endowment last year in recognition of our 35th anniversary and we have already collected more than $35,000 by way of your support at last year’s golf tournament and from our silent auction held at our Excellence in Partnership Awards (more on that below!).
Please consider a sponsorship for this worthy cause and of course, we encourage you to put a team together as well for this day filled with competition, camaraderie and remembrance. We have several exciting sponsorships available including title sponsors, luncheon sponsors, beverage cart sponsors, awards/reception sponsors, hole sponsors, and many more with all budgets in mind. Please click here to review sponsorship opportunities and contact Matt Cahill at mcahill@thecgp.org or 202-315-1054 with any questions or commitments.
We would like to say a sincere THANK YOU to Integrity Consulting – last year’s tournament winners – for their early commitment to being one of this year’s title sponsors!! Additionally, Ricoh Americas Corporation proactively reached out already to snag a hole sponsor with foursome. We appreciate these two companies setting the tone for many more sponsors to follow!
Save the date!
Lastly, we’d like to have you “save the date” for this year’s Excellence in Partnership (EIP) Awards and Fall Training Conference. Our EIP’s, complete with silent auction that will further fund the above mentioned endowment, will take place on the evening of Wednesday, October 21st at The Westin Tysons Corner and our Fall Training Conference will take place the following day, Thursday, October 22nd at the same location. If you are able to donate to this year’s auction (i.e. sports tickets/memorabilia, hotel/travel vouchers, food/wine, etc) please contact Matt Cahill.
