Adairsville, GA (October 1, 2024) - Yanmar America continued its tradition of giving back to the community with the successful completion of its 3rd Annual Charity Golf Tournament. Held on Thursday, Sept. 19, 2024, at the Fields Ferry Golf Club in Calhoun, Georgia, the event raised a substantial $15,400 for the Good Neighbor Homeless Shelter.

A total of 17 teams participated in the tournament, competing for top honors and contributing to the charitable cause. The tournament featured a variety of contests, including a longest drive competition, a closest-to-the-pin contest, and a hole-in-one challenge for a Yanmar UTV, which went unclaimed. Following the golf tournament, participants gathered for dinner and an awards ceremony where prizes were distributed to the top-performing teams.

Before the presentation of the donation check, Doug Belisle from the Good Neighbor Homeless Shelter highlighted the critical role the shelter plays in supporting individuals and families and the significant impact Yanmar America's donation will make in the lives of those served by the shelter: "We are so thankful for Yanmar America and the sponsors for this tournament for their support in helping Good Neighbor assist the people in our community who are among the most vulnerable."

Yanmar America would like to extend its sincere gratitude to the sponsors who made the tournament possible:


  • Title Sponsor: Wells Fargo

  • Awards Sponsors: Marsh McLennan and Ryder System, Inc.

  • Premium Sponsors: Ember Agency, Northpoint Commercial Finance, GreatAmerica Financial Services, and OTR Engineered Solutions

"We are incredibly proud of the continued success of our Charity Golf Tournament," said Jeff Albright, President of Yanmar America. "This event is a testament to the generosity and community spirit of our employees and partners. The funds raised will directly support the Good Neighbor Homeless Shelter, making a real difference."
