Golf Outing To Tee-Off Monday For Newtown's Pickering Manor

There are still openings for golfers interested in helping a good cause and enjoying a day on the greens at the Trenton Country Club.

NEWTOWN, PA — For 35 years, the Newtown Rotary Golf Outing has brought together local leaders, businesses, and golf enthusiasts for more than just a day on the green — it’s been a celebration of community, service, and support.

Last year’s outing raised more than $25,000 for Pickering Manor, Newtown’s nonprofit Life Plan Community. But beyond the dollars raised, the event highlights the deep bond shared between two mission-driven organizations dedicated to service.

“The Rotary has been nothing short of incredible,” said Woodhead. “Their continued support over the decades has directly enhanced the lives of our residents. Thanks to their 2024 contributions, we were able to purchase new Hoyer lifts, which improve both resident safety and caregiver support in our Skilled Nursing neighborhood.”

Woodhead adds, “Their motto, ‘service above self,’ is more than a phrase — it’s something they live out with every gesture, every donation, every moment spent advocating for us and our surrounding community. We are honored to have them as steadfast partners.”

Much of the event’s success can be credited to the dedicated Golf Committee, whose planning and outreach efforts ensure a smooth and successful fundraiser each year. In appreciation, Pickering Manor treated committee members to a celebratory lunch.

From morning tee-offs to the closing awards ceremony, the Rotary’s Golf Outing is a heartfelt reminder of what’s possible when community and compassion come together.

Pickering Manor is especially grateful for the ongoing support of top sponsors Johnson Kendall Johnson (JKJ) and Anthony Petsis & Associates, whose leadership and generosity have elevated this event for many years.
