Sussex County YMCA to Hold 20th Annual Golf Outing
Participants enjoy Ballyowen Golf Course during a previous year's outing.
HARDYSTON, NJ - The Sussex County YMCA will hold its 20th annual Golf Outing on May 18, 2022 at the award-winning Ballyowen Golf Club in Hamburg, NJ. Proceeds will support programs and services that the Y provides for children, families, adults and seniors in our community.
The golf outing will begin at 7:15 a.m. with a catered breakfast for all participants, and concludes with a cocktail reception in the pavilion, hor d’oeuvres, and awards presentation in the afternoon. Reservations to play golf or attend the reception can be purchased online at metroymcas.org or by calling Alma Dhuyvetter, Corey Brown, or Edith Lynch at the Sussex County Y, 973-209-9622.
This year’s Golf Outing honors the late Raymond W. Cordts for his contributions to the community through his involvement with many Sussex County charitable organizations. Cordts was also a member of this year’s Golf Outing committee and the outing will honor him through the induction of the “Cordts Cannon,” on the 7th hole, and his wife Pam will help kick off the tournament with a shotgun start.
Raymond Cordts
Cordts was the Senior Vice President/Business Development Officer at Lakeland Bank. He was also a former President of the Chamber of Commerce and Secretary and Treasurer of the Sussex Rural Electric Cooperative. He is past Chairman and Trustee of the SCARC Foundation and Trustee of the Newton Medical Center Foundation. He has been an integral part of the Golf Outing to support the Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice Foundation in Newton for 38 years, helping to raise $1.5 million, and has supported the nonprofit through many other fundraising events.
This year’s Golf Outing is presented by Thorlabs Inc. and sponsors include Ray Cordts - Lakeland Bank, First Hope Bank, the Macaluso Family, The Diet Man, RoNetco Supermarkets, Nielsen Group, John and Peggy Post, Wayne Tile, Woodland Trails Campground, and Wallkill Group.
“The Golf Outing has been a beloved tradition and successful fundraiser for the YMCA and we are thrilled to plan another terrific event this year. The Y has served as a critical lifeline in this community, especially these past few years, in providing much-needed programming to support the health of both children and adults when it’s been needed most,” said Jim Downing, Chair of the 2022 Golf Outing. “We invite the community to join us for a fun day of golf in a beautiful setting - an event that will have an amazing impact on local lives.”
In 2021, the Sussex County YMCA gave back more than $185,000 to provide financial assistance to over 238 youths, adults, families, and seniors in the community.
“As a nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of our members and donors to continue delivering programs that address critical health and wellness needs, and these needs are greater than ever,” said Corey Brown, Executive Director of the Sussex County Y. “To continue our impact, we need the support from this event to help fund programs offered to the community including Livestrong at the YMCA for cancer survivors, Y First physician’s referral program and Safety Around Water.”
