Swing to support future CPAs

Jan 22, 2025 · 2 min read · AICPA & CIMA Insights Blog

Professional fulfillment is just one aspect of a satisfying career — it can also include expanding opportunities for the next generation of professionals and ensuring educational access to achieve their dreams.

You can uplift future professionals and expand accounting opportunities when you tee up in the Third Annual AICPA Foundation Golf Classic on Sunday, June 8. Located 25 miles off the Las Vegas Strip at the Paiute Golf Resort, the golf outing can kick off your AICPA & CIMA ENGAGE 25 experience.

Show off your golfing skills and register as a team of four, doubles, or as a single player; prizes include $100,000 or a seven-night resort stay. As part of your registration, you can expect round-trip transportation to and from the ARIA resort, greens fees, golf cart, range balls, lunch, and more.

Participation in the event supports the AICPA Foundation, which is committed to supporting and growing the next generation of accountants. The AICPA Foundation has helped aspiring accounting students achieve their professional goals for more than 100 years through scholarships, grants and fellowships, and career development opportunities. Last year’s golf event raised $84,000 for the Foundation and drew over 120 competitors.

“I enjoy bringing like-minded, caring people together to support the same cause,” said Christopher Radford, senior manager, AICPA Foundation Development & Fundraising. “One of the biggest barriers students face today is the overall cost of education, and the AICPA Foundation can connect these students with scholarships and other opportunities to help ease those burdens. This is why it’s so important for those already in the profession to support the Foundation and those who are in need.”

Support the accounting and finance professionals of tomorrow and register for the Third Annual AICPA Foundation Golf Classic, or you can register for the Golf Classic with your ENGAGE 25 registration. Volunteer and sponsorship opportunities are also available.

Make a big difference on the green

ENGAGE 25 kicks off on June 9 and delivers pertinent and meaningful career development, networking opportunities, and learning experiences to accounting and finance professionals. You’ll learn directly from the profession’s trailblazers and experts on the trends and issues that matter most to advance your career. ENGAGE is an immersive and educational conference experience where professionals at every level of their career can find teachings and moments that matter to them.

The four-day ENGAGE 25 conference will be held at ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas — onsite and livestream options are available. Register for the conference today.

“It’s a big deal for people to come out and support the profession that they love,” added Radford. “This is also a great way to bring firms from across many states together.”

Whether you register, sponsor, or volunteer, get involved in the Third Annual AICPA Foundation Golf Classic and make a big difference for future accountants while having fun on the green.
