Crypto Cup

The 19th Annual Crypto Cup Golf Tournament was held on Thursday, September 24, 2020 at the Compass Pointe Golf Course, in Pasadena. As a result of COVID, the tournament was a little different from prior years, so that our 120 players could safely enjoy a day of fun and competition.

The day began at 7:30 a.m. with a Captain’s Choice format. Volunteers checked in golfers, distributed participant bags, and photographed the event. A mini version of the Mega-Putt Contest (sponsored by AT&T) was held before the tee-off, with a representative from each team putting. A $100 gift certificate went to Mega Putt winner Bob Reid, from Mantech.

Players enjoyed hot dogs delivered to them courtesy of CyberCore Technologies. The always popular and often entertaining Spy Hole was modified due to safety precautions, but players still had fun posing and showing off their masks. The AT&T team (Aaron Clevenger, Mark Paskowski, Earl Carbone, and Donald Holman) won prizes provided by CyberCore Technologies.

After 18 holes of play, everyone gathered together for a boxed lunch of BBQ and chicken, as well as the Awards portion of the event (sponsored by ElasticSearch and Tech USA Government Solutions).

Eagle Alliance presented a check to the National Cryptologic Museum Foundation for $31,000 – bringing the total raised over 19 years to over $735,000. In total, the 2020 Crypto Cup raised over $33,000 for the NCMF.

Laura Nelson, NCMF President and CEO and Dick Schaeffer, NCMF Board Chairman, accepted the check and presented Jim Millette, Deputy Program Manager of Eagle Alliance, with an NCMF Commemorative Coin.
