Leading up to the Event
After months of preparation, on July 11th, 2025, we were finally ready to host our first FootGolf event at Bellaire Golf Course in Wall Township, New Jersey.
An Enormous Success
The event turned out to be an enormous success, with all of our buddies and young athletes leaving the venue feeling satisfied after enjoying a fun-filled day of engaging activities. In total, we raised $10,000 to help children with disabilities.
Our Sponsors
The event sponsors included RWJBarnabas Health, the New York Red Bulls, Ray Catena Auto Group (Lexus, Audi, Mercedes), and SCORE Sports. Hole sponsors included WeDo and Toyota. Donations and in-kind support were provided by Wegmans (food and snacks), MLS GO, the NYNJ World Cup Host Committee (t-shirts), PRIME (beverages), Print2Go (signage), Central Jersey Pools, and Gotham FC.
