Your participation in the AFCEA TechNet Mid-America Golf Tournament — from bidding in the Auto Pay Silent Auction to purchasing Mulligans, entering the Skins Contest, buying CompTIA Sec+ AI or 50/50 Raffle Tickets, and engaging with our sponsor activations — directly fuels the mission of AFCEA Mid‑America.

Every activity throughout the Silent Auction and Golf Tournament supports the AFCEA Educational Foundation, which provides essential financial assistance to students across the Midwest pursuing careers in cybersecurity, information technology, communications, engineering, and other mission‑critical STEM fields.

Each bid, contest entry, mulligan, and raffle ticket helps create new educational pathways for the next generation of innovators. Your involvement directly impacts military‑connected students, aspiring technologists, and future leaders in the cyber and defense communities.

Whether you're connecting with our Platinum, Gold, Silver, and specialty sponsors, enjoying on‑course activations like Bunker Beer, or exploring the excitement of the Silent Auction, you’re helping expand scholarship opportunities that strengthen our regional workforce and advance AFCEA’s commitment to education, service, and technological excellence.

Thank you for being part of an event where every action — big or small — supports students, strengthens our community, and shapes the future of innovation.
