The chamber thanked Lowell Five Bank, identified in the release as the tournament’s Platinum Sponsor. It also thanked Farmhouse Roasters, saying the company helped keep golfers supplied with coffee, pastries, and sweet treats during the event. Guests had food, drinks, and time to make new connections throughout the day. The chamber also thanked Campbell’s Scottish Highlands Golf Course for hosting the tournament, along with sponsors, volunteers, raffle donors and golfers who took part.

The organization congratulated tournament champions, contest winners, the 50/50 raffle winner, and other prize recipients, though no names were included in the release. It also emphasized the broader purpose of the event beyond the leaderboard.
