Buoyed by the success of its inaugural fundraising golf event last year, the Hightstown High School Rams Football Parents Club is teeing off for a repeat of the golf outing.
The football parents group is planning a golf outing on Aug. 20 at the Mercer Oaks Golf Club, West Windsor, starting at 11 a.m. The outing includes 18 holes of golf, giveaways, contests, food and beverages.
Money raised by the golf outing will be used to support the football program and the players by providing nutritious pre-game meals, equipment, team gear and scholarships based on academics and service, said club president Cory Delgado.
“We look to continue partnering with the school to provide donations such as fitness equipment that will benefit all Hightstown High School students, not just football players,” Delgado said.
More than 80 golfers turned out for last year’s event, which raised more than $10,000. The money was used to buy decals for the football players’ helmets, as well as for game-day dinners and college scholarships for the players.
Delgado said everyone is welcome to enjoy a day of golf and camaraderie in support of student athletics. For more information, contact the club at [email protected] or visit the Rams Facebook page at HHSFPC.
