Event Recap
On 20 June 2013, Eagle Alliance sponsored its 12th Annual Tim Sheahan Memorial Crypto Cup Golf Tournament to benefit the NCMF at the Patuxent Greens golf course in Laurel, Maryland.
Tropical Storm Andrea caused a delay of the originally scheduled date of 7 June, but it was well worth the wait. 124 players gathered to enjoy a beautiful sunny day of fun and competition. Once again, volunteers stepped up to check-in our players, hand out goodie bags, man beverage stations, and photograph the fun. A putting contest was held before tee-off with a $150 gift certificate to the Pro-Shop going to Mark Villee of Intelligent Decisions, Inc.
Following the tournament, golfers enjoyed lunch while winners (see below) accepted their awards and lucky raffle winners claimed their prizes (provided by generous donors). The winning team, sponsored by SCI, won with an outstanding score of 17 under par! Congratulations to all the winners.
The tournament closed with a presentation of a $40,000 check by Dave Tetreault of Eagle Alliance to NCMF Vice President, Mr. Orville Lewis.
As always, the Foundation is sincerely grateful to the entire Eagle Alliance team for managing another successful fundraiser - raising vital funds to support the organization's mission.
Congratulations to All Tournament Winners!

Background
In June 2002 Eagle Alliance sponsored its first golf tournament to benefit the Foundation (then the NCMF). The annual tournament was dedicated to the memory of Tim Sheahan, Eagle Alliance's first Account Executive and a key contributor to the award and success of the GROUNDBREAKER Program. Without the annual contribution from this tournament, there are years when the Foundation would have found it challenging to meet its obligations regarding support to the National Cryptologic Museum (NCM).
Starting in 2025, the tournament is hosted by General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT).
