Fobi AI (TSX-V:FOBI, OTCQB:FOBIF) Inc announced that it will provide its Checkpoint digital ticketing and engagement solution to the Big Wheel Charity Golf Classic tournament, created by country star Aaron Pritchett.
The company also purchased a platinum sponsorship of the tournament, which will be held on September 13 at the Cottonwood Golf Course in Nanaimo, British Columbia. Proceeds from the event will go to support KidSport and the Nanaimo Community Hospice Society. Fobi has been a long-time supporter of KidSport, the company said.
Most charity golf events currently use paper tickets, Fobi noted, which limits chances to engage with attendees before, during and after the event. However, using the company’s mobile wallet Checkpoint, tournament organizers have created an end-to-end digital ticketing and engagement solution that streamlines the registration and check-in process for attendees.

“Fobi’s Checkpoint solution is a huge upgrade for us,” said Big Wheel Golf Tournament co-founder Sarah Bramley in a statement. “The Fobi technology will streamline a great deal of our operations and it will also provide an entirely new level of value to our sponsors by way of providing real time engagement and data insights which provides participating businesses with true sponsorship ROI.”
Attendees can download their pass to the event to the native mobile wallet on their smartphone, which organizers scan using Fobi’s SmartScan software. Vouchers for lunch and the evening entertainment (including a performance from Pritchett) will also be distributed through Fobi’s Checkpoint wallet passes, the company said.
Bramley continued: “As we fully leverage social media and our combined networks, the Fobi mobile wallet pass solution is a perfect complimentary addition helping us deliver a seamless digital experience to our attendees and supporters.”
This is the second charity golf tournament Fobi’s technology has helped streamline recently, after the company worked with Adam Hadwin’s Greater Vancouver Charity Invitational golf tournament held on September 1.
“This is another incredible opportunity to showcase our Checkpoint solution at another high profile charity event,” Fobi CEO Rob Anson said. “We are coming off a very successful implementation at Adam Hadwin’s GVCI golf event last week and now supporting the Big Wheel Charity Golf Classic tournament with Checkpoint and as a Platinum Sponsor is something that we are very proud of.”
