The weekend fun also extended to the fans who took part in the charity aspect of the tournament where American Century Investments hosted a live auction at www.myACCnft.com for a one-of-a-kind custom created NFT of a spinning virtual golf ball, which had been blockchain minted on the Sweet.io marketplace and did sell to a high bidder. Utility value built into the NFT includes a trip for two to Edgewood Tahoe as well as a 3D-printed version of the celebrity-signed golf ball enclosed in a Lucite box. In addition, one hundred collectible NFTs, also in the form of autographed virtual golf balls, were also available at predetermined prices and all have sold out prior to the end of the auction. 100% of the net proceeds from the auction and sales is donated to the Stowers Institute, a world-class biomedical research nonprofit dedicated to defeating life-threatening diseases.

Good fun for a good cause from the firm with a vision for helping people prosper with purpose.
