More than 120 participants played golf to support
Alzheimer’s and dementia care at the 39th annual Daughters of Miriam Golf Classic on September 16. The outing, held for the first time at the newly renovated Mountain Ridge Country Club in West Caldwell, brought business and community leaders together for friendly competition and socializing that began with a buffet brunch before a shotgun tee-off at noon. A buffet dinner followed. There were also silent and live auctions.
For the second year in a row, the Gutenstein Family Foundation sponsored the shootout, which gave eight players who were closest to the hole on the four par-three holes, the opportunity to compete for $500,000. Additionally, two other spots in the contest were auctioned off at the end of the regulation round, so a total of 10 golfers competed from a distance of 165 yards. Although no winners walked off with the big prize, Andrew Rosen won the guaranteed $2,500 prize for coming closest to the pin. Andrew’s winning streak continued when his raffle ticket was pulled as the grand prize winner of a new Ford Mustang. In addition, his father, Mark Rosen, won a large flat screen TV. Philanthropists Mark and Donna Rosen of Franklin Lakes have been generous long-time DMC supporters.
Frank’s Truck Center of Lyndhurst, Route 23 Auto Mall of Butler, the Timepiece Collection of Englewood, and Yanina & Co. of Cedar Grove were the hole-in-one prize sponsors.
