Control Chief Employees Rally for Charity Putting Event, Support Kids and Cancer

Employees at Control Chief Corporation once again stepped away from their desks and workstations for a few hours of friendly competition—and a meaningful cause.

The company recently hosted its annual Masters Week Putting Contest, raising funds this year to benefit Kids and Cancer which supports children battling cancer and helps ease the burden on their families.

The indoor course, set up at Control Chief’s headquarters, featured a creative layout with multiple putting challenges. Among the obstacles were hazards made from Control Chief’s own industrial remote control transmitters, adding a unique and fitting twist to the course.

Employees participated throughout the day, taking turns on the course, enjoying the break from routine, and spending time together. As in years past, the event created a strong sense of camaraderie, with coworkers gathering to watch, encourage one another, and share in the experience.

Representatives from Kids and Cancer also stopped by during the event. Bill Black, Jim Copeland, and Tom Shay visited with employees, shared more about the organization’s mission, and even took a few turns on the putting course themselves.

Control Chief contributed $600 to support Kids and Cancer, helping fund efforts that assist families with expenses related to treatment, travel, and care during difficult times.

The competition itself came down to a close finish. After the first round of putting, a three-way tie between Human Resources Director Theresa Funk, Darren Luce from Product Service, and Andy Walter sent the contest into a playoff round. In the final round, Walter pulled ahead to clinch the title.

With the win, Walter becomes a back-to-back champion, having also taken first place in last year’s event.

“Our team looks forward to this event every year,” said Brian Landries, Managing Partner and VP of Sales and Marketing at Control Chief. “It’s a great way to have some fun, build camaraderie, and support a cause that makes a real difference.”

Control Chief extends its thanks to all employees who participated and contributed, and looks forward to continuing the tradition in the years ahead.
