Proceeds to benefit the Ridgewood YMCA’s Good Works Programs

The Ridgewood YMCA’s 37th Annual Golf Outing will take place on Monday, September 20th at the Knickerbocker Country Club in Tenafly, New Jersey. All money raised during the event supports the Ridgewood YMCA’s Good Works Programs.

Through its Good Works Programs, the Ridgewood Y meets community needs and serves everyone, regardless of ability to pay. Examples of the Ridgewood Y’s Good Works Programs include Rainbows, providing peer support for children who have suffered a painful family loss and Living Strong, Living Well, a strength and conditioning program for cancer patients and survivors.

“The Ridgewood Y Annual Golf Outing is a great day for all” says Chris Brazill, Golf Outing Committee Chairman. “Participants have the opportunity to play golf, see old friends, make new ones, bid on terrific prizes and do something good for the community, all at the same time”.

The event will conclude with the annual Park Avenue BMW Putt-Off Contest. Says Brazill, “For most of the golfers, the competition ends on their 18th hole. But for the eleven golfers who have qualified for the Park Avenue BMW Putt-Off, the excitement and tension have only just begun. The grand prize of a free lease on a new BMW makes for a fun filled, knee knocking putting competition”.

For more information or to sign up for the Golf Outing, please call Jen Batelli at the Ridgewood YMCA, (201) 444-5600, ext. 320.
