The PMMI Foundation, the philanthropic arm of PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, will host its annual PMMI Foundation Charity Golf Tournament on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at Bali Golf Club in Las Vegas, NV.
Held the day before PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2025, taking place September 29–October 1 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, the event combines friendly competition with a shared commitment to strengthening the packaging and processing workforce.
Open to industry professionals of all skill levels, the tournament offers a relaxed setting for networking while supporting a vital cause. All proceeds benefit the PMMI Foundation’s workforce development initiatives, including academic scholarships, skills training, and career awareness programs designed to empower the next generation of packaging professionals.
In 2023, the tournament raised more than $40,000 to help close the industry’s talent gap. With $5.4 million invested to date, the PMMI Foundation continues to play a critical role in preparing future leaders. The golf tournament provides a high-impact opportunity for individuals and companies to contribute to this mission while building valuable business relationships.
Sponsorship offers companies visibility and a chance to demonstrate leadership in workforce development. Sponsors gain brand exposure among PACK EXPO Las Vegas attendees and connect with peers and customers in a setting that fosters authentic engagement.
