Morristown NJ, July 24, 2023 – The weather held off for 9 holes at Hamilton Farm Golf Club’s challenging Highlands Course on June 26th. While driving rain and a nearby tornado prevented guests from completing their rounds, supporters of Preschool Advantage’s 27th annual golf outing raised $180,000 - enough to fund preschool for more than 30 children this fall, and more than any golf outing in the Organization’s history.

“We are so grateful for the support we received from all our sponsors and attendees. We’d specifically like to recognize our Presenting Sponsor, Provident Bank and our Tournament Sponsor, Open Road Auto Group, who provided foundational support for our event. Despite the weather, it was a great day for all involved and most importantly for the families we serve,” said Matt Mirett, event chair and Preschool Advantage trustee.

“We were delighted to be joined at the event by one of our client families. Arvee is a nurse. Her husband Brian will soon begin a lengthy and unpaid deployment with the National Guard. “We are honored to fund their children’s preschool tuition during their period of financial hardship,” said Preschool Advantage Executive Director, Nancy Bangiola. The organization will fund preschool tuition for 100 children for the 2023-24 school year and is still accepting applications for September.
