K of C St. Cecilia’s Council Golf Outing A Success

On September 8, 2018, the Knights of Columbus St. Cecilia’s Council #7046 of Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, hosted its sixth annual charity golf outing at the Concordia Golf Club in Monroe, NJ to continue developing the Council’s “Families In Need” Fund. “The point of the golf outing is to offer those who enjoy the game of golf a chance to contribute to a worthy cause within South Brunswick while relaxing with friends, perhaps do some networking, and get to know one another,” said Pete St. Vincent, co-chair of the event.

This year the Council raised over $8,200 in support of the “Families In Need” Fund. “Our ‘Families In Need Fund’ provides a way for the Council to help parishioners of St. Cecilia’s in Monmouth Junction who have significant medical bills or have sudden financial burdens to offset at least some of those issues,” said Grand Knight Joe Charmello.

Added Alex Stonkus, co-chair, “We are very pleased with the outcome of this year’s event. Over 58 golfers took part. We also had more than 70 business sponsors from South Brunswick and the surrounding communities. This helps to show it is a great cause.”

In past years, the amounts collected through this event have been used to help victims of a plane crash, brain cancer, assistance toward a wheelchair accessible van and handle medical bills associated with a liver transplant.

Knights of Columbus St. Cecilia’s Council #7046 is located in the Monmouth Junction section of South Brunswick, New Jersey. Established in 1978, the Council works to support St. Cecilia’s Parish and the surrounding community through a variety of events held throughout the year, including dinner-dances at St. Cecilia’s Parish Hall and the annual Citizens with Needs Drive. Over 100 Catholic men from the parish and surrounding communities are members. Additional information on the council and its many activities may be found at http://www.facebook.com/kofc7046/.
