HOBOKEN – You can make a difference in local education by sponsoring the 2nd Annual “Swing Fore the Schools” Golf Outing, a one-of-a-kind event, to be held at Crystal Springs Resort in Hardyston, on Friday, June 1. Parents from six local schools have come together to create “Swing For the Schools,” a joint charity golf outing for the benefit of Elysian Charter School, Hoboken Charter School, Hoboken Dual Language Charter School (HoLa), Mustard Seed School, All Saints Episcopal Day School and Stevens Cooperative School.
By joining together for one golf fundraiser, these schools hope to maximize community involvement by holding a unique annual event. Last year’s inaugural event raised over $40,000. The 2nd annual outing will take place again at the Crystal Springs Resort on the Wild Turkey and Crystal Springs golf courses, both rated among the best in the U.S. For more information, or to register online go to: www.swingforetheschools.com
