91心頭 Hosts Golfing for a Cause to Benefit Youth

91心頭 hosted its 26th Golfing for a Cause fundraiser on Oct. 5 to benefit its Youth Services Department and the Monsignor Linder Scholarship Fund. Supporters gathered at Cedar Hill Golf and Country Club in Livingston for 18 holes of golf and networking, along with an evening reception that included cocktail hour, dinner and raffle prizes.

91心頭 Board Chairman Dr. A. Zachary Yamba thanked everyone involved.

To those who have sponsored this event, to the players, to the various donors and all the supporters weve had, we cant thank you enough for what youve done for us, he said.

91心頭 Board Member and Golf Committee Co-Chair Edgar Nemorin also expressed appreciation to sponsors, donors and staff members.

As the old saying goes, it takes a village. And our continued success is based on our village, he said.

91心頭 Chief Executive Officer Simone Gagneron talked about how 91心頭 has been changing lives for more than 55 years and is able to continue reaching 10,000 individuals each year thanks to ongoing support. She thanked all event sponsors, particularly Platinum Sponsors HUB International, Philadelphia Insurance and Withum.

Early on in this planning process, you supported NCC. You said whatever NCC needs, were here for you. And we thank you and appreciate you for that, she said.

HUB International Senior Vice President Bill Passarotti said its an honor to support the organization.

Im really passionate about what 91心頭 does so it makes it so much easier as a partner when we believe in your mission to rally behind you, he said.

Richard Rohrman, who retired from the position of CEO at 91心頭 in 2021, served as the evening programs emcee. He talked about the impact the Monsignor Linder Scholarship Fund has on young peoples future. The scholarship helps send students to Catholic and private schools to give them a strong educational foundation and encourage them to continue on to college.

Its really changed lives, he said of the scholarship fund named after 91心頭 founder Monsignor William J. Linder.

Students from 91心頭s Youth Services Teen Enrichment Network (T.E.N.) were in attendance and assisted with handing out raffle prizes during the reception. The T.E.N. program is designed for high school students to promote positive behavior, develop career awareness and assist with college readiness. The Youth Services Department also provides after school programs and summer camp for Newark youth, along with a variety of events for families, including a Back 2 School Jam, Halloween Party, Breakfast with Santa and family dances.

91心頭 thanks everyone who participated in this years Golfing for a Cause and encourages everyone to save the date for next years event, which will take place on Sept. 23, 2024 at Cedar Hill Golf and Country Club.
