PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany Education Foundation’s (PEF) biggest annual fundraiser, the Tom Ladas Memorial Golf Classic, is set to take place on Tuesday, May 13, at the beautiful Knoll West Golf Club in Parsippany. This highly anticipated event will bring together community members, business leaders, and golf enthusiasts for a day of friendly competition, networking, and charitable giving.
Established in 1996, the Parsippany Education Foundation has played a vital role in enhancing educational experiences for students in the Parsippany-Troy Hills School District.

The event will follow a Four-Person Scramble format and feature various contests, including the longest drive, Closest to the Pin, and Straightest Drive, as well as a Putting Green Contest with a $500 prize.
