NFPA Annual Conference
A members-only experience designed to educate and connect the fluid power industry.
NFPA Foundation Fundraisers
The NFPA Foundation is dedicated to increasing the number of students educated in fluid power and connecting them to careers in our industry. Thanks to the
generosity and support of companies and individuals across the fluid power community, the Foundation’s workforce initiatives have already impacted thousands of students nationwide through education programs, scholarships, and hands-on experiences that connect NFPA members to the next generation of talent.
This year’s Annual Conference celebrates a special milestone, 10 years of the Fluid Power Vehicle Challenge, one of the Foundation’s most impactful programs. Over the past decade, the Challenge has inspired innovation, collaboration, and career growth among university students, creating a lasting pipeline of skilled professionals for our industry.
To honor this achievement and continue fueling our mission, we’re revving up the excitement with two exciting fundraising events:
- The NFPA Foundation Throttle and Swing Event – Hit the track for an adrenaline-filled karting experience or enjoy 18 holes of friendly mini-golf competition designed for all ages and skill levels.
- The NFPA Foundation Golf Fundraiser – A fan favorite returns! This year’s tournament takes place off-site with transportation included for a seamless experience on and off the greens.
Whether you’re racing, putting, or networking, your participation helps drive the future of fluid power — supporting programs like the Vehicle Challenge and empowering students to explore rewarding careers in our industry.

NFPA Foundation Golf Fundraiser
The breathtaking scenery at TPC Louisiana’s golf course stretches over 250 acres of wetlands along the Mississippi River Delta. This championship golf course meets the highest course conditions, and is a grand representation of the natural local habitat. The golf course is part of the Audubon Golf Trail and a proud member of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary program – providing a landscape that many have compared to a private nature reserve.
