“Golf Fore Kids”

CentraState Healthcare Foundation hosts event to benefit First Impressions Maternity Center at CentraState Medical Center

Brielle, New Jersey

CentraState and Atlantic Health Leadership: Kevin Joyce, Rob Hargraves, Thomas Scott, Dr. James Matera

CentraState Healthcare Foundation hosted our 49th Annual Band Aid Open “Golf Fore Kids”, held at Manasquan River Golf Club

on Monday, June 9, 2025. This annual tradition and favorite event of business and community leaders, as well as physicians, is a great way to spend a morning or afternoon of networking, while benefiting our enhanced, state-of-the-art Maternity Services at CentraState Medical Center.

Considered among the top private golf courses in New Jersey. Manasquan River Golf Club purchased about 145 acres of farmland and rolling hills that included 1800 feet of waterfront property along the Manasquan River. The property, part of the Old Squan Highlands, includes the highest point on the Atlantic Seaboard from Atlantic Highlands to Florida. Manasquan River Golf Club remains a course with flavor unlike any other at the Jersey Shore, presenting two distinct faces.

The featured hole on the front nine is seven, a nearly 660-yard par five. A drive of 220 yards is necessary to cross a vegetation-filled ravine. To reach the beginning of the rising fairway drive of 280 yards is required. The fairway takes a steep plunge 170 yards from the green.

Despite the rain, over 150 golfers showed their support.  CentraState Healthcare Foundation raised nearly $185,000 for the First Impressions Maternity Center.  Thank you to our golfers and sponsors for another great golf event.
