Michael Stacy Golf Fundraiser May 14

The Michael Stacy Memorial Scholarship Fund is holding its third annual Golf Outing and Dinner at Woodlake Country Club in Lakewood on May 14.

The golf outing begins with use of the driving range at noon, registration opening at 12:30PM, followed by a putting contest. “Shotgun Start” is at 2PM. Dinner (with or without golf) and the gift auction will begin at 7PM.   

This memorial scholarship fund is dedicated in the memory of Michael Stacy, Crew Chief of the Point Pleasant High School Competition Marching Band from 2007 until his passing in 2010. 

"Mr. Stacy was an exceptional man, kind hearted, hard working and always willing to go that “extra mile” for anyone," says a prepared statement from the golf outing organizers.

"Mr. Stacy supported his daughter as well as all of the students in the Point Pleasant High School Competition Band and performing arts programs, and volunteered as his son’s baseball coach. He devoted much time and effort to these programs all in the spirit of giving.

"The Michael Stacy Memorial Scholarship Fund was created in his name to support the students in the Point Pleasant Borough High School Competition Band program that exhibit the generosity of spirit that Michael always showed. Each year a scholarship will be awarded to a color guard member and/or instrumentalist in the Competition Band who is a graduating senior. 

"This student will be selected for demonstrating the special spirit and leadership qualities that are reminiscent of Mr. Stacy’s commitment to the program. In the past two years, these outings have enabled the fund to provide scholarships to four Point Pleasant Borough High School graduating seniors and provide a needed piece of field equipment for the Competition Band program.

"As Michael was an avid golfer, this outing was conceived as the primary fundraiser to support the scholarship fund in his memory. We anticipate that this annual event will continue to provide scholarships and funds to support the aforementioned programs when possible.

"The golf outing will include skill contests and a dinner and gift auction afterwards. There will be sponsorships available for the dinner, hole sponsors, cart and driving range sponsors, and lunch and beverage cart sponsors. Dinner reservations will also be available separately."

Local sponsors of the two past outings included Ocean First Bank, Forte Restaurant, DeFelice Auto Center, Weisleder Ford, Lincoln & Mazda, Comstock Yacht Sales, The Train Room, Beaver Dam Hardware, Broadway Bar & Grill, Jersey Mike’s, Guisseppe’s Pizzeria, Special-T-Graphics, Cara Realtors, W.J. Fiore Surveyors and Jamis Upholstery.

"The Michael Stacy Memorial Scholarship Fund appreciates the support of these businesses and encourages local residents to support them as much as possible to strengthen the circle of community involvement. The Fund also appreciates the generosity of numerous local families, corporate and individual sponsors who have supported our event."
