Dear Editor:
From August 27-30, Jersey City is the center of the golf world hosting the Barclays golf tournament at Liberty National Golf Club. The Barclays is the first stop of the PGA TOUR playoff for the FedExCup and will provide the citizens of Jersey City an opportunity to watch (in person) world-class golfers. Beyond that, The Barclays will showcase Jersey City in a very positive light, bring economic activity to Jersey City through increased revenue for hotels, restaurants and shops, and provide support to locale Jersey City charities. Strong support of the event from Jersey City residents is a win-win for all involved.
Tickets to attend the Barclays event at Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City may be purchased through the TICKETS For CHARITYTM program. Charities designated at the time of ticket purchase will receive 75 percent of proceeds from sales. Local charities such as my own Hudson Cradle Infant Home, Women Rising, St. Anthony’s High School, Rising Tide Capital, Educational Arts Team, and approximately 25 other Jersey City-based non-profits are participating.
So if you can, please support Jersey City, support The Barclays at Liberty National, and support Jersey City charities. To purchase tickets please go to www.thebarclaysgolf.com/tfc or call 973-968-7372. Please be sure to enter the code of your favorite Jersey City charity at the time of ticket purchase. And don’t forget to wear your sunscreen, sunglasses, and hat!
Sincerely,
Sallie Porter
President, CEO
