Nootro Energy Golf Tournament to Benefit the Unified Program

Nootro Energy, founded by Dover High School alumni Judah Payeur (Class of 2023) and Ted Lipinski (Class of 2022), was built not only as a business endeavor but as a way to give back to the community that shaped them. Both Judah and Ted participated in the Unified program during their time at Dover High, and that experience left a lasting impact. Now, for the second year running, Dover Unified is the beneficiary of the Nootro Charity Golf Tournament, with 100% of proceeds going directly to the program. The 2nd Annual NCGT will be held this summer at The Oaks Golf Links on Monday, July 6th, and we'd love to see the Dover community come out and support a great cause. Registration is now open at [//trynootro.com/pages/2nd-annual-ncgt]trynootro.com/pages/2nd-annual-ncgt.
