The First Annual Mount Olive Area Chamber of Commerce Golf Outing is intended to be a fun event. But perhaps more importantly, it will raise funds that will go towards the 2016 MOACC Scholarship Fund.

Each year, the Chamber selects a worthy high school senior to receive a scholarship. Participants in this golf outing, which is being hosted by the organization’s Young Professionals Group, will help make that scholarship a reality.

The Chamber has been giving out scholarships for many, many years.

“It’s a great cause,” said Erikka Bahnuk, Chair of the Young Professionals Group. “The Chamber has been giving out thousands of dollars in scholarships over the years to our future leaders. This is our way of giving them a boost to their educational endeavors.”

The outing will take place on Thursday Sept. 24 at Wild Turkey Golf Course at the Crystal Springs Resort in Vernon.

The 4-person scramble format starts with golfer check in and continental breakfast from 7:30-8:45 am., with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. The awards luncheon is scheduled for 2 p.m.

A variety of sponsorships are available from a tee sign to premier sponsor. Individual golfers.may also sign up for $150 each, which includes cart, greens fees, breakfast and luncheon. Anyone interested in attending the luncheon only, the cost is $35 per person.

The Mount Olive Chamber includes businesses from the Greater Mount Olive region, including Hackettstown.
