CCM Foundation Golf Classic Tees Up for Student Support
Golfers, businesses and community members are invited to tee off for a great cause at the 2026 CCM Foundation Golf Classic on Monday, October 5, at Spring Brook Country Club in Morristown, one of North Jersey’s premier private clubs.
The annual fundraiser brings together members of the business community, alumni, friends and supporters of CCM for a day of golf, networking and friendly competition, all while directly impacting student scholarships, athletics and campus resources. The event also provides an opportunity for businesses and industry partners to strengthen their connection to the college and invest in students who will become the region’s future workforce.
The day begins at 10 a.m. with registration and a BBQ lunch, followed by a 12 p.m. shotgun start on Spring Brook County Club’s championship 18-hole course. Following the tournament, participants and guests will gather for an open-bar cocktail reception, buffet dinner and awards program. Club amenities include bag drop-off, a driving range and locker rooms, and everyone will receive a special thank you gift plus the chance to participate in a tricky tray, 50/50 raffle and other prize drawings. Golfers will also have an opportunity to play and mingle with CCM’s top golf athletes.
Crum & Forster is generously supporting the event as a Presidential Sponsor. They are a leading national property, casualty, and accident & health insurer, providing specialty insurance products through its admitted and surplus lines insurance companies. Founded in 1822, C&F is one of the oldest U.S. insurance companies, and today conducts business through a network of independent agents, brokers and wholesalers.
“We are extremely grateful for our continued partnership with Crum & Forster, a valued advocate and supporter of CCM,” said Kelly L. Meola, Associate Vice President of Institutional Advancement at CCM. “Furthermore, we extend our sincere thanks to all participants of this annual fundraiser, as their generosity helps provide meaningful resources and opportunities that empower our students to succeed.”
John “Harp” Harper, a longtime sports columnist and television commentator whose career has focused primarily on baseball, will be in attendance at the golf outing. A New Jersey native, “Harp” played baseball and basketball at Parsippany Hills High School, and baseball at the University of Bridgeport before winning a national fast-pitch softball championship with the famed Raybestos Cardinals in 1983 and representing the United States at the 1984 World Softball Championships. He began his journalism career at the Morristown Daily Record before moving to the New York Post and Daily News, where he covered the Mets and Yankees, and later became a familiar television presence on SNY. Guests at our event will have the opportunity to chat with Harp and hear stories from nearly five decades of experience in sports journalism, ballparks and broadcast studios along the way.
There are many ways for businesses and community members to support the event, from playing golf to sponsorships such as a tee or beverage cart sign or an ad in the event journal. Participants are encouraged to register early, as space is limited. Individuals and organizations unable to attend can make a donation in support of CCM student scholarships, athletics and campus resources.
