Annual Rossmoor Charity Pro-Member Golf Classic.
This prestigioius annual sporting event showcases, in a grand way, New Jersey's premiere adult community and its championship course. But the Golf Classic shows Rossmoor off in another way: it is a community with heart. Over the past 22 years, over half a million dollars has been raised and donated to charity. The money is raised through the Golf Classic itself and through the associated Charity Ball, Angel Program and corporate sponsors. In 2007, PNC Bank, JCP&L, Comcast Cable and Allen & Stults each donated $5000.

The recipients for the 22nd Annual Event in 2007 — as an example — included the Rossmoor Kiwanis Food Pantry (which supplies some 25 tons of food to the needy this year), and the Deborah Hospital Foundation (Deborah Hospital, Located In Browns Mills, NJ, specializes in heart, lung and vascular care. No patient is turned away because of their inability to pay.) Other recipients included the First Aid Squads of Monroe, Jamesburg, Spotswood and Cranbury.

Pros were drawn not only from the Rossmoor Club but from twenty seven other New Jersey Golf Clubs as well. Each Pro was teamed with three amateurs (avg) from the Rossmoor Golf Club in two better ball/four person format. Bleachers were set up at the back of the eighteenth hole, and spectators were allowed to follow players along the course.

Prizes are also available through the generosity of this sponsor on all Par 3 holes for "closest to the pin" and "closest to the line." There are separate prizes for men and women.

During the Tournament, the Kiwanis Club provides light refreshments both before and during the play, followed by a late afternoon Buffet in the Club House Ballroom.

Besides being a terrific day of Golf, the entry fees are the Rossmoor Kiwanis Clunbs primary fund raiser. Their outreach contributes to various charitable organizations and includes:

1. Maintaining a food pantry in Monroe Township for the needy on a year round basis.
2. Providing Scholarships to Monroe High School students.
3. Supporting a Key Club and a Building Club at the Middle School.
4. The Club also donates funds, as available, to many other local charities and First Aid Squads.

Pitch and Putt

This event promotes the interest of children in the game of golf, and is held annually at the Rossmoor Course in July.

Participants are often grandchildren of Rossmoor Residents or their friends, but include children from the surrounding community as well. No experience is necessary to enjoy the day. In 2007 there was a total of 120 boys and girls ranging in ages from 6-12.

After the contest, the kids and their folks repaired to the Ballroom and its patio for a feast of hot dogs, hamburgers, salads and sodas.
