  • Downbeach

Provided/The Stockton University Foundation Golf Classic raised more than $100,000 last year to provide educational experiences and support for students.

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP - Golfers and sponsors are encouraged to register now for the annual Stockton University Foundation Golf Classic to be held Thursday, Sept. 22 at Seaview, A Dolce Hotel, 401 S. New York Rd.

Among the tournament's highlights are a putting contest run by Stockton's golf team and a new hole-in-one challenge where golfers can win prizes including $10,000 cash, a week-long resort getaway and more. The day also includes a longest drive and closet to the pin challenge for each foursome, and a 50/50 raffle and prize grab sponsored by Tito's Handmade Vodka.

Proceeds from the Golf Classic provide rich educational experiences and support for Stockton University students through the Stockton University Foundation. Last year's Classic raised more than $100,000.

There are so many reasons why I continue to support this event year after year, said Dr. Barbara Chamberlain, a 1990 BSN graduate and six-year sponsor of the event. To sum it up, it's a joy to connect with fellow alumni and friends to support deserving Stockton students; plus, you don't have to be a seasoned golfer to have fun!

Tickets for the tournament are $250 per individual or $1,000 per foursome. Young alumni Stockton undergraduates of the last 10 years are eligible to receive a $75 discount on individual tickets. Sponsorships start at just $500 and expose businesses and supporters to event attendees and others through the outing website and related communications.

The tournament begins at 11 a.m. with registration and lunch, followed by the 1 p.m. shotgun start, scramble format. Dinner and an awards ceremony will begin at 5:30 p.m.
