Proceeds from the Monday, July 6th event will benefit HCCC students and the Colleges growth and development.
June 9, 2015, Jersey City, NJ 鈥� The 蜜桃影像 (HCCC) Foundation invites area residents and businesses to participate in its Thirteenth Annual Golf Outing, which will be held on Monday, July 6, 2015 at the Forest Hill Field Club in Bloomfield, NJ. Proceeds from the event will be dedicated to scholarships and assistance for the College鈥檚 students, and to the College鈥檚 development.
The HCCC Foundation Annual Golf Outing 鈥� one of four major fundraisers sponsored by the Foundation 鈥� has activities to please golfers and non-golfers alike. The day鈥檚 itinerary will include a continental breakfast, shotgun start at 9:30 a.m. sharp, golf with refreshments served on the course, followed by cocktails, luncheon, and an awards ceremony with prizes for participants. A limited number of tickets are available for the event.
HCCC Vice President for Development Joseph Sansone said that donor and sponsorship opportunities are available from $50 to $6,000.
鈥淥ur Foundation scholars are incredibly dedicated men and women who are working to make better lives for themselves and their families. Many of them work full-time and take classes full-time,鈥� Mr. Sansone said. 鈥淭he scholarships and financial assistance offered through the Foundation helps ease their financial burdens, and allows them to concentrate more on succeeding in and completing their studies.鈥�
Mr. Sansone said the 2015 Foundation Golf Outing has been planned and is being overseen by a committee of HCCC Foundation Board members. That committee is being chaired by Richard Mackiewicz, Jr., Esq., and includes James Egan, Philip Johnston, Kevin O鈥機onnor, Charlene Pecora, Michael Raimonde, Michael Ryan and Ron Schwarz.
