The National Equipment Finance Association (NEFA) is pleased to announce the tremendous success of the Karaoke Tsunami charity event at the 2024 Spring Conference held in Huntington Beach, CA. The event, held on March 25th, raised over $30,000 in support of Laura's House, a non-profit organization committed to aiding victims of domestic violence.
Attendees of the NEFA Spring Conference came together for a night of karaoke, turning the stage into a sea of voices from stirring ballads to upbeat classics. It was a wonderful night of fun, laughter, and joy as NEFA members took the mic to showcase their talents while supporting a vital cause.
