At the NSCA Zone on the show floor, the popular Putting Challenge returned to benefit the Foundation. Attendees contributed $5 to the NSCA Education Foundation in exchange for three chances to make a hole-in-one. Those who were successful came back for a putt-off at the end of each day of the show to compete for $500. A special thanks to our sponsor of the Putting Challenge:
Proceeds from both events support the NSCA Education Foundation, which helps further the careers of students in the commercial electronic systems industry.
