CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — April 28, 2025. Mavendog was honored to once again sponsor the Society For Information Management (SIM) Charlotte Chapter‘s “Tech on the Tees” charity golf tournament, marking our continued commitment at the 10th annual event. The weather at the Ballantyne Country Club was fantastic, the event beautifully organized, and the day focused on an incredible mission: raising funds to benefit local STEM education initiatives.

Mavendog was more than happy to return to our familiar spot on the 17th hole, where we had the pleasure of connecting with IT leaders throughout the day. Our Mavendog team, including Marketing Director Anna Vordermark, Marketing and Sales Coordinator Jada Cardwell, and CEO and Founder Jon Vordermark, thoroughly enjoyed engaging with IT leaders, golfers, and SIM members at our sponsored hole throughout the day. The 17th has been our “home” at this event at the Ballantyne Country Club overlooking the water for several years now, and we decline to comment on which tee shots we witnessed disappear into that beautiful water!

We extend our deepest gratitude to the dedicated SIM leaders and volunteers who ensured the day ran seamlessly. A special thank you goes to the tournament president and Mavendog affiliate Amy Philips for her outstanding efforts supporting us, our fellow sponsors, and all the talented IT professionals who participated. Another hats off to SIM tournament leads Randall Franklin and James Kimble for organizing our sponsorship again this year.

Special thanks to our IT Executive/Mavendog golfers, Walter Ferrer and Dave Bergeron, for representing us on the greens!

In addition to team and individual golfing awards presented by SIM, Mavendog awarded a stay at the Hyatt Centric South Park at the post-tournament awards ceremony.

The annual Tech on the Tees tournament remains SIM Charlotte’s premier fundraising event. This tenth annual effort brings SIM Charlotte within sight of one million dollars in cumulative funds for crucial support of STEM outreach programs! 2025 marked Mavendog’s sixth consecutive year as a proud sponsor of this remarkable tournament, and we eagerly anticipate continued involvement with SIM Charlotte events.
