On Monday, August 4, New Jersey SEEDS and Bleakley, Schwartz, Cooney and Finney, L.L.C. (BSCF) will host SEEDS’ 20th Annual Golf & Tennis Classic. For the eighth consecutive year, the Classic will be hosted at Mountain Ridge Country Club, rated a Top 10 Private Course by Golf Weekly and a Top 100 Classic Course by Golf Digest. All proceeds from the event will benefit New Jersey SEEDS scholars.
“Over the course of 20 years, the Golf & Tennis Classic has provided funding for more than 150 scholars to go through SEEDS’ programs,” explains Ronni Denes, SEEDS’ President. “I would like to warmly thank SEEDS Trustee and BSCF Partner Andy Schwartz, the entire team at Bleakley, Schwartz, Cooney and Finney, and SEEDS Trustee and Tennis Chair Abby O’Neill for their tireless commitment to changing young lives through education.”
Last year, more than 150 golfers, tennis players and guests attended the event to raise over $140,000. Since BSCF began supporting the event nearly two decades ago, the event has raised more than $2.1M for New Jersey SEEDS.
