Golfers & Sponsors Needed For Deirdre's House Golf Event

Deirdre’s House, the Center for Morris County’s child victims of abuse and or neglect, will be holding its Annual Golf Classic on September 28, 2021. Golfers and sponsors are needed to help raise funds to ensure that critical services provided by Deirdre’s House will continue to be available to child abuse victims and their families. The lead event sponsor is Service Metal Fabricating located in Rockaway, NJ. Participation in the event includes a round of golf, lunch, and dinner with open bar. The event will also feature a silent auction. For more information about sponsorship and golfer opportunities please visit golfdeirdreshouse@afrogs.org.

Founded in 1994, Deirdre’s House, is the leading resource for children in Morris County who have suffered abuse, neglect or witnessed domestic violence. It is the only site in Morris County where a child victim can be interviewed and digitally recorded by law enforcement, medically examined and treated, and clinically counseled in English and Spanish, all free-of-charge and all under one roof.

Proceeds from the Golf Classic will be used to fund the Deirdre’s House medical and clinical counseling programs. Deirdre’s House Executive Director Maria Vinci Savettiere, Esq. explained, “as child victims return to schools, playgrounds, and playing fields, horrific reports of abuse that occurred while they were forced to isolate with their abusers are starting to emerge. Child victims are suffering unprecedented mental health challenges that resulted not only from the abuse they suffered, but from stress and depression caused by the social and academic disruption of the pandemic.

By participating in the Deirdre’s House Annual Golf Classic members of our community can raise funds and awareness to ensure that though a child’s life may be altered by abuse, it does not have to be defined by that abuse.
