The annual 9/11 Memorial Golf Tournament will be held Tuesday, Sept. 8, at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club in Bedminster Township.
The event benefits the Adam P. Arias Memorial Scholarship Fund, which grew out of the organizers’ desire to honor and aid first responders and their families and those who gave their lives in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and thereafter in service to their country. It is held in memory of Adam Arias, a victim of the airplane attack on the Twin Towers and brother of one of the organizers.
Proceeds for the outing are donated to:
– The Wounded Warrior Project;
– A scholarship at Hillsborough High School to the child of a first responder;
– A scholarship to children of military personnel;
— College funding plans for children of Marine Warrant Officer Charles G. Wells and Col. David Lucci, who were lost in the Mid-East conflict, and
– Hillsborough PBA Local 205 for the benefit of Travis Oldenburg, son of Hillsborough Police Detective Trevor Oldenburg. Travis is a student at Somerset Hills Learning Center, which offers a spectrum of services to children, adolescents, and adults with autism.
Registration and lunch will begin at 11 a.m. with scramble play beginning at 1 p.m. and cocktails and dinner at 5:30. The $200 fee includes lunch, dinner and open bar from 5-8 p.m.
The day will also feature on-course contests, 50/50, a silent auction, door prizes, and the opportunity to win a car on each of two par threes with a hole-in-one. The mayor’s trophy will also be presented to the winning first responder team.
Checks to register for the outing or to make a donation may be made out to Memorial Golf and sent to Joseph Stutz, 601B Omni Drive, Hillsborough, NJ 08844.
