Representatives from across the gaming industry “gripped it and ripped it” to support research on gambling and responsible gaming education at the 13th annual AGEM/AGA Golf Classic presented by JCM Global. The event raised $100,000 for the National Center for Responsible Gaming (NCRG). “We are thrilled and grateful to AGEM, the AGA, JCM Global and to everyone who participated in this event,” said Glenn Christenson, chairman of the NCRG. “Our job at the NCRG is to fund groundbreaking research in the field of gambling disorders and advance awareness about the importance of responsible gaming. Without the support of these incredible organizations and people, we could not do this vital work.”

With this year’s fundraising total figured in, the event has raised nearly $950,000 in its 13-year history. That figure has prompted organizers to go on a “Drive for a Million,” where they will focus their efforts on bringing the total raised for the NCRG to $1 million.

Sponsored by the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM) and the American Gaming Association (AGA), the AGEM/AGA Golf Classic is a fundraiser for NCRG, the only national nonprofit organization dedicated to funding research on gambling disorders and increasing awareness about responsible gaming. This year’s event was held May 10 at the award-winning Cascata in Boulder City, Nev.
