On October 9 at Lakewood Country Club, 71 golfers teed off to support CAREing for Children. The day delivered friendly competition, a packed gift auction, and a strong show of community spirit.
On behalf of CAREing for Children, thank you to every sponsor, golfer, donor, volunteer, and attendee who helped make this year’s outing a success.
Community Support That Mattered
Your participation funds CAREing for Children’s year-round work—providing food, holiday gifts, school supplies, and essentials to local kids and families across Ocean County. Because the program is volunteer-run, event proceeds go directly to these efforts.
Gift Auction & Raffles: Donor Highlights
We’re grateful for the generous items and baskets contributed to the auction and raffles, including:
- At least 8 baskets from SERVPRO
- 1 basket from Pollack
- Booze wagon (wagon donated by OCBA; beverages donated by OCBA members) — winner: Joe Carey
- Mailbox and post from Carl’s Fencing
- Lottery tickets and a whiskey/bourbon basket from the Laing Family (Janet, Lynn, and Chuck)
- Handmade resin tables from Heather Dwyer
