VNA Golf Classic and River Bash Raise Record Funds

August 28, 2018 - Visiting Nurse Association Health Group (VNA) hosted golfers, volunteers, supporters and friends at the 31st Golf Classic and River Bash on August 15th at Rumson Country Club. Golfers enjoyed a beautiful day on the course and a fun party in the evening at the scenic Riverhouse, raising over $125,000 to help sustain VNA’s vast portfolio of mission-driven safety net public health care programs and services for vulnerable populations including children with special needs, mothers and babies, the disabled, mentally ill, frail elderly, homebound and the terminally ill.

The event honored longtime VNA supporters Marilyn and Robert Broege of Oceanport, for their dedication to giving back to our community. Mr. and Mrs. Broege have been actively involved with the VNA for many years, where Mrs. Broege has volunteered for nearly a decade serving on the Holiday House Tour event committee and all of VNA Show House committees. Mr. and Mrs. Broege have also been members of the VNA’s Golf Classic committee for the past three years. In addition, the Broege’s are involved with several other charitable organizations in Monmouth County including the Two River Theater and the Monmouth Historical Association where Mr. Broege is currently a member of the Board of Trustees. He has previously served as Trustee and Chairman of Riverview Medical Center Foundation, Meridian Health Foundation Board and the Oceanport Planning Board.

“Without this generous support from the community, many of VNA’s community-based programs would be cut back or eliminated,” said Bridget. Murphy, Chief Philanthropy Officer for Visiting Nurse Association Health Group. “We are very grateful to Bob and Marilyn Broege, the committee, volunteers, sponsors and participants who made this event so successful.”
