91��Ƭ Hosts Golfing for a Cause to Benefit Youth

Michelle Lang — Fri, 13 Oct 2023 20:17:08 +0000

91��Ƭ 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��Ƭ 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 we’ve had, we can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done for us,” he said.

91��Ƭ 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��Ƭ Chief Executive Officer Simone Gagneron talked about how 91��Ƭ 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, we’re here for you. And we thank you and appreciate you for that,” she said.

HUB International Senior Vice President Bill Passarotti said it’s an honor to support the organization.

“I’m really passionate about what 91��Ƭ 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��Ƭ in 2021, served as the evening program’s emcee. He talked about the impact the Monsignor Linder Scholarship Fund has on young people’s 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.

“It’s really changed lives,” he said of the scholarship fund named after 91��Ƭ founder Monsignor William J. Linder.

Students from 91��Ƭ’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��Ƭ thanks everyone who participated in this year’s Golfing for a Cause and encourages everyone to save the date for next year’s event, which will take place on Sept. 23, 2024 at Cedar Hill Golf and Country Club.

91��Ƭ Hosts 25th Annual Golf Classic

Michelle Lang — Tue, 02 Jul 2019 17:51:35 +0000

The weather was beautiful for 91��Ƭ’s 25th Annual Golf Classic July 1, held at Cedar Hill Golf and Country Club in Livingston. Proceeds from the event benefit Harmony House, NCC’s transitional housing facility for homeless families; the Monsignor William J. Linder Scholarship Fund; and NCC’s youth and education programs.
“The annual Golf Classic is an opportunity to spend some fun time with our many dedicated friends and supporters. It has become something we all look forward to and it is a chance for us to remember the people who we impact and rededicate ourselves to the NCC mission,” said 91��Ƭ CEO Richard Rohrman. “Thanks to all who came out to support us and thanks to the NCC team who worked so hard to make it happen.”
The event’s Platinum Sponsor was Withum Audit Tax Advisory. Hole-in-one sponsors were Palmer & Cay, Ferry Carpet and NCC Board President Dr. A. Zachary Yamba.
Participants enjoyed an outdoor barbecue before an afternoon on the golf course. They then returned for an evening reception that included a cocktail hour, dinner and silent auction with a variety of items including purses, jewelry, sports memorabilia and artwork.
Board President Yamba welcomed attendees to the reception and thanked them for their support of 91��Ƭ, which he called “a very vital organization not only within the City of Newark and the County of Essex, but in terms of our mission.” He explained that the services NCC provides become even more important as government pulls back financial support for programs.
He asked attendees to spread the word about the good work NCC does.
“We have to live up to the dream that Monsignor Linder had after the riots in 1967. We have to keep that dream alive,” Yamba said. “Because the needs keep growing and we are here to make sure that dream and that support that he so dearly lived for, and died for, continues to thrive.”
During the reception, supporters heard from Kima Young, who has benefited from Harmony House, NCC’s transitional housing facility for homeless families. Young, who has been living at Harmony House for nine months, became homeless after she was evicted because her landlord wasn’t paying the mortgage on the property even though she was paying rent. She received a voucher to stay at Harmony House and currently resides there with her 15-year-old special needs daughter.
“Harmony House isn’t your typical shelter. It feels like home,” she said. “And it offers so much to its residents.”
Young has taken advantage of the support 91��Ƭ provides, including Family Service Bureau, which provides mental health services. She described a community feel at Harmony House and said NCC offers events for families, particularly around the holidays.
Young is unable to work because of health issues, but receives Social Security income. With the help of her Harmony House counselor, Young has put in applications for apartments for disabled residents and is hoping to be accepted in the near future.
“I feel very fortunate to have a roof over my head and thank 91��Ƭ and Harmony House for that,” Young said. “I thank each and every one of you for your support of Harmony House and other 91��Ƭ programs. The services provided make a real difference in people’s lives. We very much appreciate it.”
The Golf Classic also included a 50/50 raffle. Robert Shawah Sr. won the prize and generously donated it back to NCC.

But in the process, we have a great time playing golf, eating, drinking and enjoying the great company,” said 91��Ƭ CEO Richard Rohrman. “It is really a fun filled event that we look forward to each year. Come out and enjoy.”
Golf Co-Chair and NCC Board President Dr. A. Zachary Yamba emphasized the importance of the event for 91��Ƭ and the children and families it serves.
“This year more than ever, in addition to supporting Harmony House and all the work that 91��Ƭ does, we want to place an emphasis on more participants and more donations to support the Monsignor Linder Scholarship Fund to enable promising young people to obtain not just their high school diploma, but also go on to college,” he said.
Registration for the event will begin at 10:30 a.m. July 1 with a barbecue scheduled for 11 a.m. There will be a shotgun start at 12:30 p.m. and after a full day of golfing, participants will enjoy an evening reception beginning at 5:30 p.m.
There will also be an opportunity to participate in a 50/50 drawing and a silent auction with RSINJ Inc.
Withum Smith+Brown is the major sponsor of this year’s event. Additional sponsorship opportunities are available.
Event co-chairs are Dr. A. Zachary Yamba, NCC Board President and President Emeritus of Essex County College; Michael Pintabone, Partner at Withum Smith+Brown; and Bill Passarotti, Partner and Client Executive at Palmer & Cay.
