Weichert’s 19th Annual Charity Outing Scheduled For August 15

Weichert, Realtors will host its 19th Annual Charity Outing on Thursday, Aug. 15, at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club in Bedminster, N.J. The event, which will raise funds for the American Cancer Society and breast cancer research, will be coordinated by Chairperson Joe McDonald, regional vice president with Weichert, Realtors. 

“Last year, we raised $200,000 to benefit the American Cancer Society and breast cancer research,” said McDonald. “Overall, the amazing generosity, support and involvement from our Weichert friends and family has helped us raise more than $1.4 million for breast cancer research over the past 18 years. We are looking forward to yet another successful event.” 

Individuals and businesses are invited to participate in the fundraiser, which features an afternoon of golf on two courses. Team awards will be given out for first and second place on each course, and there will be contests for both men and women for longest drive, closest to the hole and straightest drive. In addition, hole-in-one prizes feature 2019 luxury automobiles, and there will also be a raffle with the grand prize of an LCD television. 

“So many of us know someone who has been directly or indirectly impacted by breast cancer,” McDonald said. “We encourage members of the community to join us in fighting this devastating disease by attending our outing or simply making a donation in recognition of a friend, family member or colleague.” 

A donation of $399 provides individuals a round of golf with cart, lunch, foursome photo, and a three-hour buffet cocktail reception and awards banquet after golfing. There is also a Golf Clinic package at the same cost for novice to advanced golfers that includes three hours of instruction, club rentals, lunch and the buffet cocktail reception. For a donation of $175, an individual may attend only the buffet cocktail reception and awards banquet. 

For those not wishing to golf, there are two non-golfer options for the same $399 donation. The first is a four-hour Spa Treatment package that includes any combination of a one-hour signature massage, one-hour facial, manicure, pedicure or blowout at the Oasis Day Spa in Bedminster, plus lunch and the buffet cocktail reception. Also offered is the Member-For-A-Day package, which allows participants to take advantage of the many facilities and services available at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club, including golf and tennis clinics, the driving range, a yoga class, various exercise or swimming opportunities, or simply lounging by the pool, as well as lunch and the buffet cocktail reception. Lastly is the three-hour Paint and Sip Package at $259, which includes group painting lessons accompanied by wine or other beverages, plus lunch and the buffet cocktail reception. 

A range of eight sponsorship levels ensures an affordable sponsorship option for businesses – both large and small. Contributions of gifts and prizes are also welcome from businesses as donations.
