Hole-in-One! Cash Mob
Ron Jaworski welcomes Chamber Yummylicious at Cumberland
members.
Mall plays host on Friday, July 15.
The Greater Vineland Chamber of
Commerce (GVCC) hosted its annual
golf classic for the 26th year. On
Thursday, July 21, at Running Deer
Golf Club in Pittsgrove, the golfers
began their day with some encouraging words from sports celebrity and
golf course owner Ron Jaworski.
The day proceeded with fun and
valuable prizes for the golfers, including
a $100,000 cash prize sponsored by Newfield National Bank. There
was a “hit the bullseye on the tree or come closest to the tree and
win a chainsaw” from LaTorre Hardware. If you landed in the
water, you won a gift certificate from Al & Sam’s Canoes & Kayaks.
The first-place team, with a score of 14 under, was the TD
Bank team of Kevin Gibala, Adam Bracy, Mike Capriotti and
Thomas Kalick. They won a private airplane roundtrip flight to a
location of their choice.
The most excitement of the day was created by Pete Capizola
of Newfield National Bank, when he hit a hole in one on a contest hole. Pete won a $5,000 gift card donated by Dondero’s
Diamonds and Fine Jewelry and a set of Nike irons.
The GVCC thanks all those who attended, sponsored, donated and volunteered to make the event a success.
Golf Tournament sponsors were: Ace Plumbing, Heating &
Electrical Supplies, Ameriprise Financial Services, BB&T,
Bottino’s ShopRite Supermarkets, Cape Bank, Century Savings
Bank, Comcast, South Jersey Industries, and UA Auto Sales.
The GVCC hosts this exciting event annually in July and
everyone is welcome to join them next year.

investing resources)
