FORE! Westfield Mini-Golfers Score Big!

I’m willing to admit publicly that my golf game needs a little work. (OK…maybe even a lot of work!) Sometimes I think that mini-golf is more my speed…it certainly was this weekend! On what turned out to be a picture perfect Saturday, Westfielders young and old alike came to the Hyatt Hills Miniature  Golf Course in Clark to support the 5th Annual “Mini-Golf Madness”, a fund-raising event for the Westfield United Fund.

In Westfield, Charity Often Begins At Home.

As my daughter and I played our round, we couldn’t help being struck by just how many sponsor signs there were throughout the course. Local businesses and individual families seemed to come out in droves to get behind this fund-raiser. (TheTownBroker.com was proud to be one of the many sponsors for this event). Westfield United Fund Board member and Mini-Golf Co-Chair Kimberly Benou told me that throughout the day, there were about 200 players who contributed $10 each to play.

Between player fees and sponsorships, the event raised nearly $5000 for the Westfield United Fund’s member organizations. How cool is that?!

The Westfield United Fund is a true grassroots agency. It has existed since 1937 with a mission of helping support those organizations that have demonstrated their support to Westfield residents. It’s Westfielders helping Westfielders, and it’s pretty special. The member organizations to tremendous work, and they always need our support.  As they like to say “your gift goes far, but not far away”.  In fact, the member organizations of the Westfield United Fund touch the lives of 2 out of every 3 Westfield residents.

Think about that for a moment…2 out of every 3!

So a special shout out goes to everyone who helped make the “Mini-Golf Madness” event a success. And thanks to the Westfield United Fund and their member organizations for helping to make Westfield such a great place to be!
