Biz X Was There – Advance Business Systems 33rd Annual Thanksgiving Day Football Classic
Advance Business Systems held its 33rd Annual Thanksgiving Day Football Classic on Thursday, November 28, 2024 at the esteemed Windsor Yacht Club with hundreds in attendance.
What began as a Customer Appreciation event has transformed into Southwestern Ontario’s premier networking occasion.
The event was hosted by Advance Business Systems President Mike Burnett and CEO Jack Jorgensen, and included sushi from Salt Sushi, beverage tastings by Vin Winery and Walkerville Brewery, a cigar/scotch tent, raffle prizes, squares games, auction items, tailgating food items and of course, watching the Detroit Lions win against the Chicago Bears!
For over three decades, Advance Business Systems has consistently chosen local children-focused charities, directing 100% of the proceeds to the selected cause. Past beneficiaries include the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Sparky’s Toy Drive, Children’s First, Family Respite Services, the Children’s Aid Society Youth Advisory Committee, Farrow Riverside Miracle Park, John McGivney Children’s Centre, and many others.
To date, this impactful event has raised more than $225,000 for various community initiatives.
This time around the networking event supported Fight Like Mason Foundation’s efforts, specifically the Mason Power Pole program & the Boost Box Program. The Boost Box is the newest addition to the Fight Like Mason support programs that sends unique support boxes to newly diagnosed children as a premium “starter” kit to brighten spirits.
What will the total raised be from the 2024 event for Fight Like Mason? You will just have to read the January issue of Biz X magazine to find out!
