As a member of the State Chairs Steering Committee from Illinois, I am proud to represent the Great Lakes Region in The ACTEC Foundations Longest Drive Challenge 2025! I am competing against Region Chairs from the other seven ACTEC Regions to wear the ACTEC Jacket and of course for the bragging rights and all the glory for the Great Lakes Region for the next year! You can drive me onto the green and to the win by donating to my individual fundraising goal of $5,000!

Not only will you help me win the ACTEC Jacket, your donation to the Longest Drive Challenge will help The ACTEC Foundation fund life-long and scholarship education in the trusts and estates practice. The Mary Moers Wenig Student Writing Competition, the Dennis I. Belcher Young Leaders Program, and ACTEC Trust and Estate Talk podcasts are some of the programs The ACTEC Foundation supports. Your support will keep these initiatives viable.

Every dollar you donate propels my ball farther down the fairway! Keep your eye on the leaderboard and watch your email for updates every Wednesday. You can identify me by my colorful YELLOW AND BLUE golf shirt!

ACTEC Foundation President John T. Rogers, Jr. is pleased to announce the ACTEC Foundation Longest Drive Challenge 2025 to raise support for the life-long learning initiatives of The Foundation. This year the winning golfer will claim the honorary "ACTEC Jacket," and be announced in an email and on the Foundations renewed website.

The Challenge will take place over a period of four weeks, one round per week, with a winner announced each week (the golfer whose ball was driven the farthest during that week), and an overall challenge winner (the golfer whose ball was driven the farthest during the entire Challenge) named at the end.

This years golfers include members of the State Chairs Steering Committee who are teeing up to represent their ACTEC Region.

Every dollar you donate to The ACTEC Foundation propels your favorite golfers ball another foot down the fairway the longest drive wins!
