CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — May 10, 2021. Mavendog had the honor of returning as a sponsor on the 17th hole at this year’s 6th Annual Charity Golf Tournament with the Charlotte Chapter of Society for Information Management (SIM). After delaying the event until October last year (2020), SIM got the tournament back to its regular time of year in May 2021. Once again, it was held at Charlotte’s prestigious Ballantyne Country Club.
SIM Charlotte is a premier network for IT leadership, providing a forum for community thought leaders to share their experiences and explore future IT direction with one another. This organization has made it their mission to contribute to the larger STEM community, with local “give back” programs such as STEM Outreach, encouraging students of all ages to pursue degrees and careers within the Information Technology space.
Their annual Charity Golf Tournament is SIM’s leading fundraiser each year, raising record funding for their STEM Outreach programs. Over the years, they have raised over $500,000 for local Charlotte STEM!

Mavendog sponsored the 17th hole, an exhilarating water shot that made for healthy competition. The table was run by Mavendog staff Mike House and Tara West, who offered players information, Mavendog swag, and refreshments throughout the day. Tournament players had the opportunity to enter our raffle for a phenomenal prize package including a one night stay at the Hyatt Centric South Park, a $75 gift card to Steak48, and a $10 gift card to Golden Cow Creamery.

“It is an honor to sponsor and be associated with this cause and organization,” said Jon Vordermark. “Also, as a SIM member and sponsor, I get the best of both worlds — to contribute to STEM causes while getting to see how SIM disperses those contributions throughout our community.”
