Arriving on buses with a police escort, vendors started the gala event with a fun cocktail hour. Then, guests enjoyed a fabulous filet and lobster tail dinner, followed up with bananas foster for dessert, as they listened to a musician on keyboard providing entertainment before the evening’s award presentations.

Founder Larry Pacey and his son, Chris Pacey, CEO and President of NPW, began the night’s presentation with a long and impressive list of accomplishments in 2024, while adding to buckle up for a spectacular 2025 as they continue their goal of growing their business.

Chris underlined their commitment to invest in team member development and promotions this past year, in addition to continuing their aggressive stance that resulted in the introduction of 34,000 new, unique SKUs in 2024, plus the addition of 140 CSC members added to their network of repair shops.

On the docket for 2025 are programs to expand marketing initiatives, in addition to continuing their support of the nonprofit organization First Tee with their 35th annual golf tournament.
