CJR Memorial Golf Tournament

The CJR Team is excited to be gearing up for our 14th Annual Golf Invitational!

Mark your calendars, the 14th Annual Golf Invitational is coming up.  We would like to thank all of our past sponsors and participants for their continued support and welcome those of you who would like to be part of our effort. Your generosity has been greatly appreciated over the years.  Because of our supporters, Caleb will never be forgotten!

At this time, we are not accepting any more foursomes for the golf tournament. However, you may still join us at the cocktail & dinner reception that follows.  There we have are highly anticipated Chinese and silent auctions with over 50 high value baskets, sports memorabilia and more!

Can’t make it but still want to be a part of the day? This year we are holding a helicopter ball drop.  We plan to sell 200 golf balls at $100 each to raise a total of $20,000.  Each golf ball will be number from 1-200 and will be dropped out of a helicopter onto a target on the golf course the morning of the golf tournament.  The closest ball to the target will win $10,000!!  With the other $10,000 going to the CJR Memorial Foundation.

Without you, none of what we do would be possible.

The CJR Memorial Foundation proudly supports the Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia.  There, families are able to stay free of charge while their child receives treatment at nearby hospitals including the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.  Since 2013 we have sponsored a room in Caleb’s name, lessening the stress and financial burden for all who stay there each year.  CJR assists families experiencing financial hardship while caring for their critically ill child.  We help these families make ends meet by covering expenses like mortgage payments and utility bills so the parents are not forced to choose between their jobs and being by their child’s side.

This will mark our seventh year partnering with the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  Since 2016, the CJR Memorial Foundation has contributed $34,200 to the Make-A-Wish chapter of NEPA in support of 8 wishes!  These magical moments have included a bedroom makeover, trips to Walt Disney World, and even a tropical adventure in Hawaii.  We will continue to support this extra special organization so more local children can see their wishes come true.

This past winter we the CJR Memorial Foundation partnered up with the local Ronald McDonald House of Scranton’s “Merry & Bright Family Night”– an evening on the Stourbridge Line! The night train ride was centered around the Wonder of Christmas and family togetherness. For the past 5 years alone, the RMH of Scranton has served nearly 100 families from Wayne and Pike counties while their children have received treatment.  In addition to sponsoring this wonderful train ride, the CJR Memorial Foundation provided a large toy donation to the Zipper Junctions Annual Toy Drive. Toys from this drive were distributed to children all over Pike & Wayne Counties.  The CJR, along with the help of its corporate partners, was able to deliver hundreds of toys valued at over $8,000 to many children living in our local communities!

Thanks to the contributions and thoughtfulness of every sponsor, participant and volunteer we have become a huge success.  Join us again in celebrating Caleb’s memory at this year’s event.
