The Calais Foundation raises $77,000 at 4th Annual Golf Classic

The Calais Foundation hosted its fourth Annual Golf Classic in Sussex
County, NJ on Thurs., June 27. Approximately $77,000 was raised to
support programs and resources for children with special needs and their
families. To date, The Calais Foundation has provided grant funding to
hundreds of children with special needs across Northern New Jersey.
Funding has also benefited The Calais School, providing Animal Assisted
Interventions, after school programing, learn n’ earn stipends for
students in the structured learning experience transition program, and
more.

“The 2019 Golf Classic was a huge success this year! The weather was
perfect, the venue was beautiful and the participants had a great time.
Thank you to our amazing volunteers who worked really hard to put the
event together. We couldn’t have done it without you” said Trevor Jones,
Calais Foundation Treasurer.

In addition to 18 holes of scramble golf, participants enjoyed
welcome gifts, raffles, silent auction and variety of competitions.
On-course contests, presented by RTI IMI and T.G. Nickel, included men’s
and women’s longest drive and closest to pin. A cash prize of $10,000
was also up for grabs in the hole in one competition, though no one took
it home this year!

“It is such an honor to host members of the local community and
supporters of The Calais Foundation in our annual golf outing” says
David Leitner, Executive Director of The Calais School. “Together we not
only played golf, we made a difference in the lives of very deserving
children.”

A huge thank you goes out to the sponsors and golfers who helped make
the 2019 Golf Classic an exciting and successful fundraising event.
