Ridgewood YMCA's 41st Annual Golf Outing to Benefit 'Good Works' Program

The Ridgewood YMCA will host its 41st Annual Golf Outing on Monday, September 29 at the Knickerbocker Country Club in Tenafly, New Jersey. Proceeds from the event will support the Ridgewood YMCA’s Good Works Programs.

The fun-filled day of golf, cocktails, and dinner begins at 9:30am with registration, breakfast, and a shotgun start at 11:00am, followed by the annual Park Avenue BMW Putt-Off Contest, with a grand prize of a free lease on a new BMW.

“The Ridgewood Y Annual Golf Outing is a great day for all”, says Ken Levitsky, Golf Outing Committee Chairman. “Participants have the opportunity to play golf, see old friends, make new ones, bid on terrific prizes, and do something good for the community, all at the same time”.

The Ridgewood YMCA Good Works Programs address the needs of the community, striving to turn no one away, regardless of their ability to pay. Examples of the Ridgewood Y’s Good Works Programs include Living Strong, Living Well, a strength and conditioning program for cancer patients and survivors, Delay The Disease, a program designed to introduce the benefits of exercise to people with Parkinson’s disease, and Rainbows, providing peer support for children who have suffered a painful family loss.

“The Good Works Programs are the core of what the Y stands for - Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility”, says Rick Claydon, CEO of the Ridgewood YMCA, “We encourage the community to come out and support what promises to be a great event”.
