Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs® (NBT) would like to thank all the participants of the eighth annual GOLF4MFG® fundraiser that helped raise $38,000 to support NBT’s scholarship and summer manufacturing camp programs! The success of the event demonstrates the invaluable efforts our golfers, donors, and sponsors bring to NBT.

NBT provides grant funding to schools and organizations to host summer manufacturing camps for young students to learn about the many manufacturing career opportunities in their communities. NBT also awards scholarships to high school graduates who are passionate about pursuing prosperous careers in manufacturing.

GOLF4MFG was held at the Arrowhead Golf Club in Wheaton, Illinois, on October 12. Players braved the elements to drive, chip, and putt on the bentgrass tees, greens, and fairways. The overall winning foursome was from Huntington Bank. Team members’ names will be etched on the giant traveling trophy housed at the headquarters of the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association, International® (FMA).

Congratulations to the Huntington Bank Winning Foursome:

  • Stan Barnett
  • Brent Martin
  • Erik Skogsbakken
  • Chris Sweetland

Contests throughout the course gave golfers the chance to win exclusive prizes including foursomes to Arrowhead Golf Club, a Mike Singletary autographed mini football helmet, and a Tommy Armour hybrid club.

Congratulations to all of our Contest Winners:

  • Longest Drive: Erik Skogsbakken, Huntington Bank
  • Closest to the Pin: Andy Flando, FMA
  • Straightest Drive: JP Miller, JoingPivot
  • Longest Putt: Paul Liles, CIBC
