The Ocean County College (OCC) Foundation invites you to tee off at its 13th Annual Golf Outing at Pine Barrens Golf Club, Jackson Township, on May 6, featuring “Hole- In-One,” “Beat the Pro,” and “Closest-to-the-Pin” contests.

“In our first 12 years, we raised nearly $500,000 to support the students of Ocean County College,” Sandy S. Broughton, executive director of the OCC Foundation, said. “By providing students with excellent educational opportunities, we provide them with an entryway to a new world of possibilities [and] a chance to better their own lives, as well as their families’ lives.”

The entry fee is $295 per player and includes lunch, use of driving range for one hour before the shotgun start, greens fees, golf cart and a golf gift. An awards and cocktail reception, in the clubhouse, will immediately follow the afternoon tournament. Soft spikes and golf attire are required.

Individuals and businesses may also lend support by becoming a sponsor. All sponsors receive recognition in the reception program. In addition, depending on level of sponsorship, this may also include entry fees for a foursome or twosome; a dozen premium golf balls; and name prominently displayed at Golf Outing, on golf carts or other signage. Please call for details.

The registration deadline is April 16. To register as a player or sponsor, call the OCC Foundation at 732-255-0492.
