RED BANK – The Curchin Group, LLC, has announced it will hold an essay submission, open to all 501c(3) organizations, to determine the two beneficiaries of the Ninth Annual Curchin Open, a nine-hole indoor miniature golf tournament played for charity.
Nonprofits located in Monmouth and Ocean counties are eligible to enter by writing a 250- to 500-word essay detailing the missions of their organizations and how the funds will be used for the greater good.
The Curchin Group’s partners will select the winners by June 30, based on the quality of the essay, the reputation of the organization and the proposed use of Curchin Open proceeds.
Local charities can visit www.curchin.com for more details about the submission process. Essays can be submitted through May 31.
“We are excited to be hosting our Ninth Annual Curchin Open. Over the years we’ve been very pleased with the increased popularity of this event and continue to be amazed by the incredible generosity of everyone who has helped make it a success,” Curchin Group partner Peter Pfister said. “This year we hope to break our record and raise even more funds and awareness for two special charities in need.”
Last year, with the support of almost 40 corporate and individual sponsors and dozens of participants, the Eighth Annual Curchin Open raised $16,000 for Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore and Family & Children’s Service in Long Branch. Since the event started in 2005, the firm has raised more than $105,000.
The Curchin Open will take place Nov. 5 at The Curchin Group’s Red Bank office on its team-designed course. Player fees are $20 per person, which includes one round of mini-golf, food and beverages. All proceeds will benefit the two locally based charities that will be selected through the essay submission.
Curchin also is offering sponsorship opportunities to local businesses that would like to help the selected charities and elevate their profile in the community.
