Piazza Foundation Updates On Progress, Sets Date For Golf Tournament

The  Timothy J. Piazza Memorial Foundation provided an update on its progress last week on Facebook, including announcing registration information for its second annual golf tournament.

In its first year of existence, the foundation raised more than $250,000 and has already made its first donation, providing a six-year old boy with a prosthetic foot. It’s also approved a grant for a children’s hospital in New Jersey to provide prosthetic and adaptive limbs, and is discussing a similar grant with a “large, world-renowned children’s hospital” in Philadelphia.

“We will continue to look for worthy recipients to continue to help make a difference in lives of those in need,” the post reads. ” That’s what Tim would want and expect. Therefore, our work is not done and we again will look to you for your generosity and support.”

The first scholarship awards in Tim Piazza’s name will be awarded in May to seniors at Hunterdon Central High School in New Jersey.

The foundation also announced this year’s golf tournament will be held Monday, August 13 at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club in Bedminster, NJ. Last year’s event raised more than $150,000 from the 270 golfers, 425 dinner attendees, silent auction, and tricky tray event.

Registration is now open online for the tournament and the dinner to be held afterward.

About the Author

Mikey Mandarino

In the most upsetting turn of events, Mikey graduated from Penn State with a digital & print journalism degree in the spring of 2020. He covered Penn State football and served as an editor for Onward State from 2018 until his graduation. Mikey is from Bedminster, New Jersey, so naturally, he spends lots of time yelling about all the best things his home state has to offer. Mikey also loves to play golf, but he sucks at it because golf is really hard. If you, for some reason, feel compelled to see what Mikey has to say on the internet, follow him on Twitter @Mikey_Mandarino. You can also get in touch with Mikey via his big-boy email address: [email protected]
