The Curchin Group announced that it is presently accepting essay submissions to determine the nonprofit beneficiaries of the 12th Annual Curchin Open, a nine-hole indoor miniature golf tournament that will be held this November in Red Bank .
Recognized nonprofit charities that are located in Monmouth and Ocean counties are eligible to enter by writing a 250 -500 word essay detailing the mission of their organization, how the funds will be used for the greater good and why their organization should be chosen as a beneficiary charity, according to a press release announcing the event.
Local charities can visit www.curchin.com for more details about the entry process. Essays will be accepted through June 5.
The Curchin Group’s partners will select the beneficiaries by June 30, based on the quality of the essay, the reputation of the organization and the proposed use of Curchin Open proceeds.
Last year, with the support of over 50 corporate and individual sponsors and dozens of participants, the 11th annual Curchin Open raised $18,000 for Mary’s Place by the Sea and the Monmouth County Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). Since the event began in 2005, the firm has raised more than $154,900.
“We are truly looking forward to another successful year of the Curchin Open. It gives our group great pleasure to raise money for local charities in such a fun and unique way. Last year was our most successful event, only made possible by our guests and sponsors. We’re excited to see what we can achieve this year,” said Curchin Group partner Peter Pfister.
The Curchin Open will be held at the firm’s Red Bank office on its team-designed golf course on Nov. 8.
All proceeds from ticket sales and gift auctions will benefit Monmouth and Ocean county based charities, selected through the essay submission. For further information on the Curchin Open, please contact Peter Pfister at [email protected] or at 732-747-0500.
