37th Annual Tee Off for Education Golf Classic & Luncheon Fundraiser Was a Huge Success

PARSIPPANY — The Woman’s Club of Parsippany-Troy Hills (WCPTH) held its 37th Annual Tee Off for Education Golf Classic & Luncheon Fundraiser at the Knoll West Country Club on July 10th.  This is the primary fundraiser for the club’s educational programs and scholarships. WCPTH club member Marilyn Zarzycki chaired the successful fundraiser for the first time.  All $13,000 raised will go back to Parsippany students (open to both male and female students) in educational programs such as scholarships to graduating high school seniors, Citizenship Awards to graduating 8th graders, 5th Grade Reading Awards, a Spelling Bee, Dr. Seuss Birthday events and  library donations.

180 participants attended the event.  While the golf enthusiasts took to the course, other attendees enjoyed a morning of bridge and games.  Later, everyone enjoyed lunch and an afternoon of bidding on Tricky Tray prizes donated from over 70 local vendors.  A 50/50 Raffle drawing concluded the event.
