SOUTH ORANGE / MAPLEWOOD, NJ — It’s almost tee time for the 18th annual Columbia High School Cougar Boosters Golf Classic this May 2 at Maplewood Country Club. Proceeds from the classic support school athletics and extracurricular activities at the high school, and since 1994 the Boosters have handed out more than $300,000.
Dozens of programs are assisted each year, including, the baseball, basketball, lacrosse, field hockey, softball and track teams, along with clubs and activities including Midnight Madness, all-school musical, Quiz-Bowl, marching band, Parnassian Society, The Columbian, Velocity Magazine, robotics club, Shakespeare Festival, jazz band and ultimate Frisbee.
“It’s a fantastic day of golf, and a great chance to network, and do some real good for our school and community,” classic Chairman Al Farah said in a release. “We couldn’t make this happen without our great returning golfers, and amazing sponsors.”
According to Farah, “Companies can become corporate sponsors and donate prizes. We’ve got tee signs for sale to promote your local business, along with legacy signs to celebrate your recent CHS graduates and alums.”
As part of the package, golfers get a made-to-order breakfast at the country club, golf cart, a round of golf, cocktail hour and dinner. Entertainment is provided by the CHS jazz ensemble and the school’s a cappella group, Unaccompanied Minors.
There are prizes for closest to the pin, and a hole-in-one prize of a one-year lease on a new Volvo. Recent prizes have included tickets to New York Yankees games, Broadway shows and evenings out at local restaurants.
