EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP - The Arc of Atlantic County’s annual signature fundraising event, The Arc of Atlantic County Golf Classic presented by I. Rice & Company, Inc., held Oct. 10 at the prestigious Galloway National Golf Club raised $135,000 to support crucial services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in southern New Jersey.

Arc of Atlantic County has hosted golf fundraising events for 15 consecutive years, with I. Rice & Company as the presenting sponsor. This year’s event attracted more than 120 golfers.

Funds raised from the event will directly support The Arc’s essential programs, including intensive case management, recreation, employment and family services. These programs ensure that individuals with IDD have the resources, opportunities and support needed to live full, independent and inclusive lives. 

“The Arc of Atlantic County Golf Classic returned to Galloway National Golf Club for the fifth consecutive year,” The Arc CEO Scott Hennis said in a release. “Our guests thoroughly enjoyed playing this exceptional course; even more important, our guests also understand that their participation in this event makes a real difference in the lives of individuals living with IDD in our community.” 

Since its inception in 2008, the event has raised more than $1.5 million, directly benefiting individuals and families throughout Atlantic County who rely on services of The Arc.
