WESTFIELD — The Westfield Area YMCA has announced its 20th Annual Golf Classic, which will take place on Monday, June 9, at Echo Lake Country Club in Westfield. This full-day event includes a cookout lunch, a cocktail hour with hors d’oeuvres and a buffet dinner, followed by live and silent auctions.
Proceeds from the Golf Classic directly support the Westfield Area YMCA Strong Kids+ Annual Support Campaign, which provides financial assistance for those with a bona fide financial hardship who live or work in Cranford, Garwood, Mountainside or Westfield.
The majority of financial-assistance awards enable children to attend the Y’s early-learning, schoolage, and summer-camp programs. Additionally, awards enable families and seniors to benefit from Y wellness opportunities like aquatics, sports and fitness classes. Youth, teen, senior and special-needs programs are subsidized to ensure they are available for all.
Registration is now open for foursomes, individual golfers, as well as “evening only” guests. A wide variety of sponsorship opportunities are available. All sponsors will be listed in digital and printed promotional materials, on event signage, and in the Westfield Area YMCA Annual Report. Additional recognition and benefits are available at the higher levels. Sponsorships are 100-percent tax-deductible and must be submitted by Friday, May 23, to ensure course signage.
The Westfield Area YMCA also is seeking auction donations for the event. Those who have a vacation home, tickets to sporting events, luxury goods or other items to contribute are invited to contact Marla Itzkin, director of communications and development, at mitzkin@westfieldynj.org or (908) 301-9622, extension no. 264.

The nonprofit Y is committed to strengthening communities through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Financial assistance is available for YMCA programs and memberships for those who qualify.
