Equipment Finance Cares

Equipment Finance Cares fourth and final event of 2024 this week in Minnesota was an overwhelming success. A big thank you to the entire Channel | Your Partner in Funding team for being an amazing host. Thank you to everyone who attended and presented on Wednesday. Reflecting back on our first ever EF Cares event in June of 2021 we raised $1,000 for the 5 charities that we showcased. Fast forward three years and this event raised over $15,000 for the 8 charities that were showcased. These events would not be possible without the support of our Equipment Finance Cares annual/regional sponsors and event attendees. We are extremely grateful for the continued support of our equipment finance community and look forward to seeing everyone at one of our regional events in 2025! Special thank you to our event chairs, Sean McKenna/Kristi Schon and our featured speaker, Brian Slipka. #EFCares #equipmentfinance #thoughtleadership #givingbacktothecommunity #charity #event #thankyou

Recapping the second annual Equipment Finance Cares charity golf outing that took place a few weeks ago. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to you for joining us at the second annual Equipment Finance Cares charity golf outing earlier this month. Special recognition goes out to Shawn Arnone and the Rockland County Country Club for hosting us. The weather was on our side this year, and the course was in immaculate condition. Despite travel disruptions across the country, our attendance increased by 20% from last year—a true testament to the dedication of our supporters. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and the contributions made during the event, EF Cares raised over $25,000! This remarkable achievement doubles the amount we raised last year. The proceeds will directly support the EF Cares Charitable Fund, which aids our year-round efforts to raise money for nonprofits connected to individuals and organizations within the equipment finance industry. For a list of all the charities we have supported to date, please visit: https://lnkd.in/gkfKRv4H. A special thank you to our EF Cares golf committee, led by our chair, Kirsten Dargy. Our appreciation also goes to committee members: Blair Dawson, Stephanie Hall, CLFP, Tom Ficca , Danielle Dolloff, and Lovern J. Gordon, CLFP, for their tireless efforts in making this event a success. Mark your calendars for our next event on August 4th, 2025, at the Rockland County Country Club, Sparkill, NY.
