Despite storms in the forecast and even a tornado warning, the Atlanta Technology Professionals were dedicated to hosting for a good cause, rain or shine. On May 9, 2024, they celebrated their 20th annual golf tournament at Bear’s Best Atlanta, where golf enthusiasts and altruists gathered on the green in a spirit of giving. 

A blend of competition and camaraderie created an energetic vibe as players and spectators journeyed their 18 holes. There were delicious snacks, drinks, and games to entertain everyone off the course, and prizes throughout the day.
