The fourth annual Charles J. Hesse Golf Outing, hosted by the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association of New Jersey, will be held at Navesink Country Club, Monday, July 24. Proceeds of the event, which also includes dinner, prizes, raffles, etc., benefit retired Thoroughbreds of New Jersey through Second Call, a Thoroughbred adoption and placement program. The late Hesse, who raced as Char-Mari Stable along with his wife Marianne, campaigned the millionaire Park Avenue Ball.
“This is our fourth year,” said NJTHA Executive Director Michael Musto. “Marianne had come to us and has always been a big supporter of Thoroughbred racing and Monmouth Park. She thought it would be a great gesture to honor Charlie's memory by putting together this golf outing. And every year, we try to raise money for retired horses that have run at Monmouth Park. She's been extremely supportive, and without her, the program probably wouldn't have gotten off the ground. In the four years, we've raised somewhere around $500,000 for retired horses.”
Event director Liz Dowd Mosca added, “In the past number of years, it has really grown. This is our fourth year and Monmouth University is our signature sponsor. It is a very popular event. We were almost sold out before we even had our brochures made! We are trying a new concept this year, and the dinner is much more interactive, with interactive raffles.”
