PARSIPPANY – After a two-year hiatus thanks to the pandemic, Morris County Sons of Italy – Lodge 2561 once again hosted their annual Basil Ricci Memorial Charity Golf Outing on Thursday, July 7 at Parsippany’s Knoll Country Club West.

The event, the compilation of much hard work by many members of the Lodge’s ‘Golf Committee’, was a huge success. 138 golfers came on a wonderful day to enjoy 18 holes on a first class course. The golf package included golf, cart, lunch, dinner, drinks, prizes and gifts!

Thanks to over fifty sponsors and other generous donations, this successful fundraising event will benefit many local charities and families. 100% of what the organization raises goes directly to families in need in the form of gift cards and various local charities, including but not limited to the Parsippany Food Pantry, scholarships secondary schools, the Valerie Fund, the Shelter for Battered Woman, Alzheimer’s disease and many more.
