The EmVision Capital Advisors’ team swung into action on Monday, July, 15, participating in the Believe in Dreams’ 9th Annual Golf Outing at Barrington Golf Club in Aurora. EmVision's sponsored foursome teed off at 8:30 a.m. with more than 100 other supporters of this local nonprofit. 

Participants enjoyed a fun-filled sunny day of friendly competition, camaraderie and heartfelt giving. As golfers showcased their skills, they knew that every swing contributed to something greater—the chance to make dreams come true for youth who are economically disadvantaged and have survived non-medical adversity. The outing included 18 holes, followed by cocktails, a dinner, live music and an awards ceremony. 

This year's foursome from the EmVision team included Brad Davis, Johnathon Opet, and James Artale.

“EmVision has been a proud supporter of Believe in Dreams for many years, and our passion for this organization remains strong,” said James Artale, Wealth Advisor, Chief Financial Officer, and Partner. "We deeply appreciate the mission of Believe in Dreams and the positive impact it has on the community and look forward to being a part of the amazing things they do for years to come."

Making an Impact with Every Swing

This year’s event raised more than $123,000. All proceeds support the organization’s efforts to grant dreams for local youth who have endured adverse experiences that have left them with little hope or belief that their dreams were attainable. 

"We're thrilled to witness the organization expanding its reach and influence," said James. "The positive impact on the youth in our communities is undeniable, and we are honored to be a part of it."
