Integrity House to Host Golf Classic at Essex County Country Club to Raise Awareness and Funds for the Fight against Substance Abuse

NEWARK (MARCH 25, 2010)—Integrity House, a nationally recognized substance abuse rehabilitation center with locations in Newark and Secaucus, will host its annual Golf Classic at the Essex County Country Club on Tuesday May 18, 2010 to help raise funds for their community outreach programs and for the Integrity Initiative for Women & Children.

“Each year, we are truly blessed to have the support of many generous businesses and community members at our Golf Classic and other fundraising events,” said David Kerr, Founder and President of Integrity House. “Through events like the Golf Classic, we are able to not only raise awareness, but also to collect critical funds that aid us in treating those who suffer from the disease of addiction.”

Supporters of Integrity House, including political figures, business-owners and community members, will be in attendance among the many that donate their time and efforts to the cause. The event itself will commence with a registration and range, BBQ lunch, putting contest, and shotgun start to a complete 18-hole golf challenge. Attendees will enjoy a reception and silent auction followed by dinner and awards.

A range of sponsorship opportunities are available. Proceeds support community collaboration and partnership initiatives led by Integrity House, including the Initiative for Women & Children, all which help bring about positive changes in New Jersey neighborhoods and help improve quality of life for families across the state.
