For a second year, friends of The ISTC Foundation gathered at the Prattville Country Club golf course to raise funds for certifications, tools and equipment for Ingram graduates preparing to enter the workforce.

Tournament committee chair Stan Humphries said 19 four-person teams participated in the October 8th event which raised over $10,000.

Humphries said a portion of the proceeds will be used to offset costs associated with industry certification, including the EPA refrigerant handling test his HVAC graduates take prior to graduation. “Providing the funds for certifications shows students that contributors have confidence in them,” said Humphries. “It’s a great motivator.”
