Join the Ocean County Business Association for a day of golf, networking, and giving back at the 9th Annual Marty Aronow Charity Golf Classic – to benefit CAREing for Children
This signature event brings together local business leaders and community members for a day of fun and fellowship on the beautiful greens of Lakewood Country Club—all while raising vital funds to support children and families in need through the CAREing for Children initiative. Check out this post about last year’s golf event!
Why This Event Matters
The OCBA Golf Classic is more than just a round of golf. It’s a community-driven effort to provide food, holiday gifts, school supplies, and essential support to underprivileged children across Ocean County. 100% of net proceeds from the outing are donated directly to CAREing for Children – a fully volunteer-run program with no overhead costs. Since its inception, the event has raised over $160,000 in donations, providing vital resources to local organizations including Providence House, Faith Community Church, the Salvation Army, and more.
