Dennis Beinborn Golf Tournament

Over the summer, we lost a dear friend and colleague, Dennis Beinborn – loving husband and proud father to Amanda and Chris. In honor of his memory, the Nivel team organized a fundraiser to help support his loving family – and so the first annual Dennis Beinborn Golf Tournament fundraiser was held this past Saturday September 25.

We had over forty players and twenty sponsors participate in the tournament. The day was filled with golf, Karaoke, raffles, prizes, and games. Nivel donated a fully customized golf car with the most innovative accessories. Danny Serrano, Nivel’s Warehouse manager was the lucky winner and took the prized golf car home.

By the end of the day, we raised $22,000 for Dennis’s family. We want to say thank you to all the players, volunteers and sponsors, this day would not have been a success without you.
