#SPICares: 2024 "Par for a Purpose" Vogel Fundraiser
#SPICares 2024 Vogel Fundraiser:
We are thrilled to share the incredible results of our inaugural charity golf tournament, "Par for a Purpose," benefitting our cherished #SPICares partner, Vogel.
On Wednesday, May 15th, 2024, 75 attendees gathered at Topgolf Dallas for an evening of golf, camaraderie, and benevolence. Attendees participated in a charity golf tournament and a silent auction, in which 100% of proceeds directly benefitted Vogel, a dedicated 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Dallas, TX.

- Friendly Competition: Participants showed off their golfing skills in a spirited tournament, fostering friendly rivalry and team spirit for a good cause.

Impact by the Numbers
Thanks to the tremendous support of all the event guests and sponsors, we raised an impressive $42,000 to support Vogel's mission of helping young children and their families prevent and overcome the lasting and traumatic effects of homelessness and poverty.
Together, we raised $42,000 in support of Vogel
We are profoundly moved by the outpouring of generosity from our community. The funds raised from this event are already going toward making a monumental difference in the lives of the 4,500 homeless children cared for by Vogel. This event underscored the powerful impact of compassion, community, and a compassionate community, proving that we can accomplish remarkable things together and have fun doing it.
Thanks to you, we've raised over $130,000 for Vogel since 2021.
SPI Advisory and Vogel extend our heartfelt gratitude to our corporate sponsors, individual donors, and every participant who made this event a success. Your support is the cornerstone of our efforts to bring positive change to our community with the #SPICares initiative.
