Las Vegas, NV / Seal Beach, CA – November 18, 2022 – The 2022 International Fastener Expo (IFE) announced that its 3rd annual IFE Golf Tournament collected $1,782 to donate to Fastener Education Foundation (FEF). The IFE golf outing hosted more than 145 players across 36 teams and facilitated the collection of these donations through mulligans and the Beat the Pro contest, sponsored by Nucor. Show Director, Morgan Wilson, was excited to present Fastener Education Foundation with this donation, “We’re very fortunate to have all our supportive partners and are happy to support a great cause that continues to strengthen our industry.” This financial contribution will be put towards programs that help professionals in the fastener industry with training, education, and professional development.
