Taste of ABC Spring Golf Tournament: A Sold-Out Success on the Greens at Jacaranda

ABC-FEC and its members recently took over Jacaranda Golf Club in Plantation, in Central Broward County, with a sold-out participation. Participants enjoyed a spectacular day on both courses, packed with food, beverages and incentives.


Members teed off under perfect weather conditions and made valuable business connections while supporting two great causes: Broward Health Foundation and the ABC-FIU Student Chapter.


The event was a resounding success, bringing together industry professionals for networking, camaraderie, and healthy competition. We extend our heartfelt thanks to ANF for presenting this tournament and to all our incredible sponsors who made this event possible!

In Memoriam:

Ron Pearson


With heavy hearts we share the passing of Ron Pearson, past Chairman of ABC Institute and a dedicated ABC Cares Foundation Trustee, after a short but fierce battle with cancer.


Ron was a pillar of ABC Florida East Coast, leaving a profound and lasting impact on our organization. His strategic vision for ABC Institute came at a crucial time, driving growth with his inspirational leadership.

His charisma and unwavering determination shaped the Institute, ensuring a strong future. Ron's company Pegasus Painting and Waterproofing was a loyal member of our Chapter. 


Ron’s heart was at the very center of ABC Cares Foundation, embodying the essence of “The Heart of ABC.” His dedication to philanthropy touched countless lives, demonstrating his deep commitment to uplifting the mental and physical health of construction professionals.


We extend our deepest sympathies to his wife, Cathy, and his sons, Lars and Neils. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.


Ron’s legacy of leadership, generosity, and vision will live on in the organization and the lives he impacted. He will be greatly missed.
