Vigilant AI and Golf Pro Chad Klein Drive for Accounting Scholarships

Drive for excellence with Chad Klein
May 15, 2024

Vigilant AI is thrilled to announce our sponsorship of the long drive hole at the AICPA Foundation Classic golf tournament, set against the beautiful backdrop of the Snow Mountain golf course at the Paiute Golf Resort in Las Vegas on June 2, 2024.

As proud sponsors of this event, we are committed to supporting the AICPA Foundation, which supports scholarships for  accounting students across the USA. This event highlights our commitment to the future of the audit and accounting community and also serves as a precursor to our involvement in our first AICPA & CIMA Engage trade show starting on June 3, 2024.

This tournament will feature the prowess of long-drive golf pro Chad Klein. Chad, a four-time World Long Drive Championship qualifier and a notable figure in the golf community, will showcase his skills on the 17th hole, known for its challenging 486-yard stretch. His personal record long-drive of 431 yards in competition exemplifies his extraordinary talent and brings an element of excitement to the tournament participants.

At the hole, participants will have the unique opportunity to measure themselves against Chad’s long drive, with the option to use his drive as their starting point in exchange for a charitable donation.

Vigilant AI, a first-time attendee at the event, is sponsoring this event to highlight our commitment to excellence and our desire to support the grassroots of the audit and accounting community. Our sponsorship aims to raise awareness about our cutting-edge technologies and to foster deep connections within the accounting industry.

We invite all tournament participants to join us in making a difference through this event, which promises not only a day filled with exceptional golf but also the opportunity to network with our team and learn more about Vigilant AI. Be sure to visit us at booth #106 during the AICPA & CIMA Engage show to explore how our revolutionary solution to intelligent data management can help speed your audit results and reduce the risk of audit failure.

We look forward to welcoming you to Las Vegas, where you can experience the perfect blend of technology, tradition, and philanthropy on the golf course. Join Vigilant AI and Chad Klein for a memorable day that champions both charity and technological innovation
