What began as a group golf chat between several PMMI: The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies members and committee members morphed into a PMMI Fantasy Football League and an opportunity to give back. First things first, the league included the following members:  Andy Stamp, Hamilton Caster, Andrew Karel, Valco Melton, Brian Hunnicutt, ProMach, John Bialecki, LAKO, Jordan Hamrick, Hamrick Packaging Systems, Mike Odom, Pacteon Group, Mike Brewster, Pacteon Group, Dustin Lee, Morrison Container Handling Solutions, Mark Lovelace, Dyco Inc., Frank Skerl, Hamrick Packaging Systems,  Mark Navin, Spee-Dee Packaging Machinery, Inc., and John Partin, Schneider Electric. Also pictured are PMMI President and CEO Jim Pittas and Executive Vice President - Industry Outreach Joe Angel on behalf of PMMI.

The group started a tradition and generously donated all the winnings ($1000) from the league winners to the PMMI Foundation for educational initiatives. The league was a lot of fun, and they hope to have everyone back next year with a new belt ceremony at the 2026 Joint Committee Meeting.
