New Community hosted its 28th Golfing for a Cause fundraiser on Sept. 29 to benefit its Youth Services Department and the Monsignor Linder Scholarship Fund. Supporters gathered at Cedar Hill Golf and Country Club in Livingston for 18 holes of golf and networking, along with an evening reception that included cocktail hour, dinner and raffle prizes.
New Community Interim Board Chairman Edgar Nemorin thanked all the participants, sponsors and donors for coming to and supporting the event. He talked about New Community’s Youth Services Department, which will receive proceeds from the fundraiser, highlighting how 2,864 youth were served in 2024 through core programs and events. He said programs like that are essential to families.
“One of my personal missions is that youth and education opportunities should not be defined by a kid’s or parent’s zip code,” Nemorin said.
New Community CEO Simone Gagneron expressed her gratitude to all in attendance.
“Thanks to the continued support of our sponsors, along with everyone who participated, donated and purchased raffle tickets, NCC can continue doing great work for those in the community,” she said. “We’re so excited to be able to host this event and give everyone a day away from the office while supporting our youth.”
Christine Stern, Senior Vice President at HUB International, a Platinum Sponsor of the event, spoke during the networking reception. She commented about how there was great energy throughout the event and how HUB is happy to support New Community.
“We live in a very complex and challenging world. God bless New Community for the work you do,” Stern said. “We at HUB feel blessed for being a sponsor of this wonderful event and a partner in helping to manage the business risks associated with the work NCC does.”
Rocco Schiaffino, Assistant Vice President at Philadelphia Insurance Companies, another Platinum Sponsor, addressed the crowd as well.
“It’s a privilege to partner with NCC. I believe we have worked together for over 20 years and we are very happy to play a small part in all the amazing work that NCC does,” he said. “We participate in many outings and this is one of our favorite events of the year. We are just very happy to be part of it.”
During the evening reception, prizes were given out to golfers. The first place team was comprised of Keith Kirkland, Norman Hymowitz, Jeremy Hernandez and Greg Ward. A variety of attendees also won raffle prizes.
New Community congratulates all of the winners and thanks all sponsors, participants and donors for making the 28th Golfing for a Cause successful. NCC asks everyone to save the date for the 29th Golfing for a Cause, which will be held on Sept. 28, 2026.
