A Premier Day of Purpose and Partnership at the Colorado Golf Club
On Monday, July 28, 2025, leaders from across the home improvement industry gathered at the stunning Colorado Golf Club in Denver, Colorado, for the 3rd Annual Lifetime Golf Classic. Hosted by Lifetime Home Remodeling, the tournament was created with one clear mission in mind. To raise life changing funds for Firefly Autism and help enhance the quality of life for individuals on the autism spectrum.

This was not just another golf outing. It was a gathering of industry leaders, national manufacturers, financial partners, local businesses, and community supporters who share a belief that success should be measured by impact. From major product partners to local sponsors and team members, the target audience extended beyond contractors. It included decision makers, culture builders, and community champions who understand that business growth and social responsibility must move together.
Now in its third year, the Lifetime Golf Classic continues to grow in scale and influence. In 2024, the event raised over $164,000. This year, it delivered another powerful result, raising $162,637 in support of Firefly Autism. That consistency speaks to more than strong fundraising. It reflects trust, loyalty, and a shared commitment from partners who return year after year.
What made this event unique was its tone and execution. It carried the energy of competition, yet remained professional and intentional throughout the day. There were no distractions from the purpose. Instead, there was focus, gratitude, and genuine connection. Sponsors strengthened relationships. Teams bonded. Leaders exchanged ideas. And at the center of it all was a cause that united everyone in attendance.
The Lifetime Golf Classic has become more than a charity event. It is now a symbol of what is possible when a company brings together culture, leadership, and community under one shared mission.
Leadership Voices Reveal the Culture and Conviction Behind the Lifetime Golf Classic
Throughout the day, Greg Cummings, CEO of Power100, engaged with the leadership team at Lifetime Home Remodeling to capture the heart behind the event. What unfolded was more than conversation. It was a clear look into the culture that fuels both the company’s growth and its commitment to giving back.

At the center of it all was Peter Svedin, Founder and CEO of Lifetime. When asked how he continues to bring such strong partners and supporters together year after year, his answer was simple and direct.
“One of our core values is loyalty. We are loyal to our vendors and partners and manufacturers, and they are loyal to us. And here is the turnout for the golf tournament three years in a row. Three peat. And we nailed it again.”
That loyalty was visible across the course. Partners returned not out of obligation, but out of trust. Peter made it clear that the success of the tournament belongs to the team behind it. He gave full credit to his leadership group, including Coco McCarty Criste and others who worked tirelessly to deliver what he called the best Lifetime Golf Classic yet.
Peter also spoke about the competitive spirit inside Lifetime’s culture. “No matter what it is, we are going to try to deliver and over deliver and under promise for sure.” That mindset extends beyond revenue and production. It shapes how the company treats partners, homeowners, and the community. The same discipline that drives business performance also drives philanthropic excellence.
Newly appointed COO Brian Standage shared why he chose to join Lifetime and what excites him most about the road ahead. With a background in scaling large organizations, Brian saw something different in Lifetime.
“Whether you are delivering healthcare, you are delivering a commodity, you are delivering a service, you are ultimately delivering an experience. And that is one thing Peter does better than anybody.”
Brian described Lifetime not simply as a remodeling company, but as a company in the concierge business of home remodeling. His vision is to scale that experience across markets while raising the standard of quality and loyalty. For him, the foundation is already strong. The next chapter is about expansion with excellence.
Zong, Regional Director of Phoenix, echoed that culture first mindset. When asked what keeps him at Lifetime, he did not mention numbers or titles. He spoke about people.
“Peter really cares about his team and his employees and his homeowners. Making homeowners happy is a huge part of our business. And we give back to our community like today.”
For Zong, the golf classic represents something deeper than a fundraiser. It is proof that the company wins alongside the community. “When we win, the community wins as well. Homeowner wins. Everyone wins.”

Behind the scenes, Coco McCarty Criste, Director of Public Relations, reflected on the emotion of the day once the final putts were made. Exhausted yet grateful, she shared her excitement about growing the tournament’s impact in the years ahead.
“It is really our opportunity to get everyone that is important to us and like minded and has the same kind of heart and culture together to celebrate, to raise funds, and also enjoy a great day on the course.”
Her words captured the spirit of the event. This was not about publicity. It was about partnership. It was about bringing national and local businesses together around a shared mission.
As the conversations came to a close, one theme stood out above all. The Lifetime Golf Classic is not just a charity tournament. It is a reflection of a leadership team that believes culture drives performance, loyalty builds longevity, and true success is measured by the lives impacted beyond the balance sheet.
Industry Partners Unite Around a Shared Mission to Support Firefly Autism
As the tournament unfolded at the 3rd Annual Lifetime Golf Classic, it became clear that this event was larger than one company. It was a gathering of aligned partners who believe business should create impact beyond the job site.
During on site conversations led by Greg Cummings, sponsors shared why supporting Lifetime Home Remodeling and Firefly Autism was a natural decision.
Kevin, representing Infinity from Marvin and North Georgia Replacement Windows, spoke about the deeper value of the day. “It is a beautiful event. We are supporting a good cause. It is great to get out with the boys and spend some time together and talk about life, talk about business.”
But beyond the camaraderie, Kevin highlighted the strength of the partnership network that Lifetime has built. “It is special. There is really no other word I can find for it. It is kind of like we are all in it together for a greater cause.”
His words reinforced a consistent theme seen throughout the event. These partnerships are not transactional. They are relational. They are built on trust, shared growth, and long term loyalty.
Ashley from Kohler shared a similar perspective. Kohler, newly partnered with Lifetime, was drawn to the company’s culture from the beginning. “When we met Lifetime, we were so impressed about the culture that they bring. It is a customer first culture. And I think that is how we feel at Kohler. So it was a perfect alignment.”
That alignment was visible on the course. Teams were not just there to compete. They were there to build relationships, strengthen partnerships, and stand behind a cause that matters. When asked what winning meant, Ashley smiled and said, “We already won by being here and giving back.”
BOK Financial, which manages the retirement plan for Lifetime, echoed that sense of shared responsibility. “At BOK Financial, we love supporting our nonprofit community. So the Lifetime Golf Classic supporting Firefly is a no brainer for us and we are excited to be here.”
For them, the event was not just about sponsorship visibility. It was about standing with a partner who invests in its people and its community.
Jen Hall from Keystone Denver reflected on the team spirit that defined the day. “We are just super excited to be here as a team, getting to hang out together and also supporting a great cause like Firefly Autism.”
That combination of teamwork, laughter, and shared mission created a tone that felt both professional and personal. There was friendly competition on the leaderboard, but the true measure of success was the impact made off the course.
Across every sponsor conversation, one message remained consistent. Supporting the Lifetime Golf Classic means supporting a company that leads with culture, follows through on its word, and uses its success to lift others. It means standing behind a cause that changes lives. And it means being part of a network of leaders who believe that when business grows, the community should grow with it.
A Day That Reflected the Future of Leadership in Home Improvement
As the sun set over the Colorado Golf Club, the numbers told part of the story. The 3rd Annual Lifetime Golf Classic raised $162,637 for Firefly Autism. But the true impact of the day reached far beyond the final total.
The event strengthened relationships between national brands, regional leaders, financial partners, and community organizations. It created space for honest conversations about culture, loyalty, scaling with discipline, and serving homeowners at a higher level. It reinforced that growth and generosity are not opposites. They can move together.
For Lifetime Home Remodeling, this tournament is now more than an annual gathering. It is a reflection of who they are. It shows that a company can expand into new markets, hire at scale, and pursue national growth while staying rooted in service. It proves that leadership is not just about revenue. It is about responsibility.
For the industry, the message is clear. The future belongs to companies that build strong cultures, honor partnerships, and reinvest in the communities that support them. Events like this do more than raise funds. They raise the standard.
As Lifetime looks ahead to continued expansion across the Southwest and beyond, and as Firefly Autism continues its mission to support individuals on the autism spectrum, the foundation laid at this tournament will carry forward. The relationships built here will continue to grow. The knowledge shared will influence future leaders. And the impact will extend well beyond Denver.
