Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore Raises More Than $78 Thousand Dollars at Golf Classic

The Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore raised more than $78 thousand dollars at its Annual Golf Classic on June 24th at Manasquan River Golf Club in Brielle, NJ. Over 100 attendees enjoyed a well-deserved relaxing day on the one of the best golf courses in New Jersey while helping more than 13,000 girls in Monmouth and Ocean counties grow into strong, confident women.

Participation in the Golf Classic provides opportunities for girls in our community to take part in Girl Scout programs, trips and activities. Support from sponsors allows girls facing financial barriers to participate in a range of Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore programs including robotics, archery, environmental awareness activities and more.

“The turnout at our golf classic was fantastic and we are so grateful to all of our sponsors for ensuring that our local Girl Scouts continue to receive so many opportunities to grow into courageous, independent women,” said Susan H. McClure, chief executive officer, Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore. “Their support, along with the generosity of everyone in attendance, helps girls reach their fullest potential each and every day.”

The Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore welcomed Senator Jennifer Beck as honorary chair with Nina Anuario of OceanFirst Bank and George Campbell of Investors Bank, as co-chairs for the event. This year’s gold event sponsor was Edith H. McClure.
