CHICAGO – The Presidents Cup and United Rentals are pleased to host a no-cost Forklift Certification Training and Networking Opportunity at the Enger Adams Veterans Center in Wheaton, Illinois.

This unique program provides participants with the opportunity to earn forklift certification, gain valuable hands-on training on rough terrain (telehandler) + warehouse equipment, and connect with professionals and organizations committed to workforce development, career advancement, and employment opportunities.

The goal of this event is to help veterans enhance their skills, expand their qualifications, or explore new career paths. This training will offer a practical credential that can support their professional growth.

“At United Rentals, we believe strong partnerships can create meaningful opportunities and have lasting impact in the communities we serve. We’re proud to support the Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans and grateful for the opportunity to bring our expertise and resources to their mission,” said Mike Durand, Chief Operating Officer, United Rentals. “Through our efforts with the 2026 Presidents Cup, including the forklift certification training and networking event, we’re helping provide veterans valuable skills and connections to support their path toward long-term stability. We’re honored to play a role in empowering veterans through our partnership with the PGA TOUR.”

In addition, United Rentals has made a generous contribution to the Naval Station Great Lakes and secured tickets to the Presidents Cup exclusively for the military and their families.

“United Rentals has been an incredible partner in helping us make the 2026 Presidents Cup about more than golf—it’s about making a meaningful impact in the communities we serve,” said Joie Chitwood, Executive Director of the 2026 Presidents Cup. “We’re grateful to United Rentals for hosting this forklift certification training event and creating a valuable opportunity for the veterans supported by the Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans.
