NFL's Anthony Fasano Hosts Golf Classic Today

Anthony Fasano, a Verona native and currently a tight end with the Kansas City Chiefs, is hosting his charity’s 6th Annual Charity Golf Classic on Monday, May 6.

The outing, sponsored by the Anthony Fasano Foundation, will benefit Reed Academy, an Oakland school serving the needs of children with autism.

The event is held at Montclair Golf Club, located at 25 Prospect Ave. in West Orange.

The event times are as follows:

9:30 a.m. Symantec Registration Table Opens
10:00 a.m. BBQ Buffet Lunch Opens
11:30 a.m. Shotgun Start
4:30 p.m. Cocktail Hour
5:15 p.m. $10,000 Putting Contest

This isn’t the first time Fasano has returned to the area for a sporting event.

Last year, he approached county officials, including County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo Jr., about building four new bocce courts at Essex County’s Verona Park.

Working with the county crews, who performed the construction work to remove the old bocce courts and grade the site and, when construction was completed, install new park benches, bleacher seating and new landscaping, the courts were open in mid-July, in time for a bocce competition known as the Bocce Bash.
