Giving Back - Charitable Events
Description
Giving back is part of the DNA that makes our club so special. We offer many opportunities in support of charitable organizations that raise both awareness and monies. Our two largest events are
FiddleFest and Mixed Stix.
Implementation
2019 was the inaugural year for FiddleFest, a music and food festival that raised money for Tri County Scholarships, an organization that provides academic scholarships for those that are deserving and in financial need. The event included live bands, food trucks, a fire show with dancers and a BMX Bicycle performance.
Mixed Stix, in its third year, has now become the state’s most unique event and a tremendous showcase for Fiddler’s facility, culture and penchant to give back. This event consists of two golf events including one of the largest Pro-Am’s in NJ, a pro-paddle demonstration and round robin, fishing, live and silent auctions, and an iron chef competition. All benefits charities that include military, at risk youth and those with disabilities.
In its first year, FiddleFest attracted more than 200 members and guests in support of Tri County Scholarships. Mixed Stix is now the largest event of its kind in NJ with participation from more than 30 other clubs.
