United Way Golf Outing

WALL TOWNSHIP – United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties’ (UWMOC) 2023 Annual Tee-Off presented by Hackensack Meridian Health will be held on May 8 at Hollywood Golf Club in Deal. Registration opens at 10:30 a.m. with a shotgun start at 12:30 p.m. The fundraiser will benefit UWMOC’s mission to bridge the gaps to education, financial stability and health for every person in our community.

“I am proud to be a part of this event to benefit an organization that does such important work,” said Luke Bollerman of Bollerman Companies, Chair of the Annual Tee-Off Committee. “United Way has important initiatives throughout Monmouth and Ocean counties, and this event furthers those efforts, expands vital projects and delivers the resources our community needs.”

United Way invites local companies to showcase their business with a sponsorship for the historically sold-out golf outing. Sponsorship opportunities are still available and start at $350. Sponsors and golfers are encouraged to register early in order to guarantee their spot in one of the premier golf outings in our region.

In addition to becoming a sponsor, companies and individuals can support the 2023 Annual Tee-Off by donating silent auction items or purchasing raffle tickets for the chance to win 13 gift cards to exclusive restaurants in Monmouth and Ocean counties with a total value of $2,200. Raffle tickets are $100 each and only 100 will be sold.
