FMC Has Successful Week at 2023 GCSAA Conference & Trade Show; Give Back to Local GCSAA Chapters Program Raises Nearly $30,000

FMC showed appreciation to the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America in lots of different ways at the recent GCSAA Conference & Trade Show. Promotions featuring the company’s “Give Back to Local Chapters” program generated a lot of donations for those GCSAA local chapters – nearly $30,000 in all.

Also, a “Give Back to Local Chapters” appreciation dinner at the Oceanaire restaurant drew hundreds of attendees with a blend of a 5-star menu, premium drinks, networking and storytelling.

“We were thrilled with the level of activity all week at our booth,” notes Mike Sisti, North American Marketing Manager. “We had a golf simulator that allowed course superintendents to raise “Give Back” checks for their local chapters. We also combined that with overall participation by chapter to add to the totals.”

The top five of these were awarded additional funds for highest number of members participating from each chapter..

FMC also featured a “Kalida Scream” selfie at its booth. The winner of that drawing was Mike Bellino from the Central Florida GCSAA chapter.
