The Berkeley College Foundation welcomed a record 116 golfers to the Basking Ridge Country Club on Monday, June 3, 2024, for the Foundation’s 7th Annual Golf Outing. The event, which included brunch, cocktails, dinner, silent and live auctions, and a 50/50 raffle, assists the Foundation in its mission to provide scholarships and support for student success.
“The Berkeley College Foundation extends its gratitude to the participants, community and business leaders, sponsors, and volunteers who once again have made our Golf Outing a resounding success,” said Ellen Zitis, Executive Director, Berkeley College Foundation. “Their generous support and enthusiastic participation not only made the event enjoyable, but will also provide a bright future for our scholarship recipients, empowering them to pursue their educational dreams and career goals.”
The Berkeley College Foundation held its inaugural Scholarship Awards Dinner in 2017, and since that time has awarded $224,000 in scholarships to 63 academically deserving, need-based students.
“Being a recipient of the Berkeley College Foundation scholarship led me to graduate on time and continue toward my goals,” said Joshua Burke, a 2023 scholarship recipient who recently graduated from Berkeley College with a Bachelor of Science in Legal Studies. “I am now a part of the Rutgers Law School Minority Student Program for future law students. If it had not been for the Foundation, I am not sure I would have had the success I have had.”
