$101,000 Raised at 2025 Projetech Corporate Charity Challenge
Benefitting The Ashley Learning Center & United Way’s “Yes I Can Read” Program
Kyle Camarro, CEO of Projetech spearheaded the Projetech Corporate Charity Challenge, a fun weekend of golf and camaraderie among the TCI business community to a new record result with $101,000 raised for The Ashley Learning Center and the United Way’s “Yes I Can Read” program. A truly remarkable result! This was the 2nd year of a 10-year commitment to this event in order to help worthwhile causes in the TCI.
The festivities kicked off with the Opening Cocktail Party on Friday night with a large crowd. The colorful “Green Jackets” that are presented to the Champion’s each year were on full display with many putting them on for good luck!
Jared Fulton (HAB Group – 2nd Place Team)
A total of 15 teams representing the TCI business community competed in the fun yet competitive net scramble golf format that had a unique course set up this year including 8 holes of cross-country scramble. The team from Gilley’s Enterprise (Desmond Williams, Bruce Barron, Tony Bell & Kurt Rivers) claimed the championship jackets with a narrow victory over the 2nd place team from the HAB Group consisting of Perry Cheeks, Jared Fulton, Tim Mack and Kirk Stewart. Third place was the team from G&P Mortgage Fund Ltd. and Beach Monkey of Vaughan Paisley, Aiden Paisley, Syed Hassan and Paul Chaplin. Closest to the pins were claimed by Kirk Stewart, Carl DeFazio, Tony Bell, Tony Arata and Kyle Camarro with long drive winners Kurt Rivers and Andrea Todd blasting their tee shots on the 18th hole.
An important part of the festivities was the $20,000 Ashley Learning Center Challenge sponsored by “Robinhood”. This very generous donor matched separate donations up to $20,000 and was surpassed with $32,750 in donations from participants and supporters of The Ashley Learning Center. As well the Champion team got to make a donation to the charity of their choice from the funds and selected The Orchard TCI as the recipient.
Headline Sponsor Kyle Camarro of Projetech would like to congratulate and thank all participants on raising such a significant amount for the two worthy projects and we encourage all to go to the tournament website by https://www.golfgenius.com/ggid/rtc25ccc to view all sponsors as it takes a community effort to realize such great results. Also, noted was the excellent course conditions and fabulous food prepared by RTC GC which made the weekend a true overall success. A new addition this year to the event were the food stations on the golf course provided by Pelican Bay Restaurant & Bar and The DelMar at the Strand. Thank you to all who supported as this tournament looks forward to a bright future with full support from Projetech and the local business community.
