We are incredibly grateful to nvisia for selecting i.c.stars as the nonprofit beneficiary of this year’s Grand Geneva Elite Tech Showcase and Golf outing. It was a fantastic day filled with great conversations, friendly competition, and a shared commitment to investing in the future of technology talent.

Thanks to the generosity of golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters, the event raised $4,251.17 through CIO lunch raffles, the Putting for Booze game, mulligans, and donations. Every dollar raised helps i.c.stars continue developing technology and business leaders while creating more equitable pathways into the tech workforce.

Beyond the fundraising, the outing provided an opportunity to strengthen relationships with industry partners, meet new supporters, and share the impact of i.c.stars with a community that values innovation, collaboration, and giving back.

A special thank you to the entire nvisia team for your partnership, hospitality, and dedication to making this event a success. […]
