April 30, 2013 - PRLog -- RED BANK, N.J. (April 30, 2013) – The Curchin Group, LLC, a mid-sized, full-service accounting firm based in Red Bank, N.J., announced that it will hold an essay submission open to all 501c(3) organizations to determine the two beneficiaries of the Eighth Annual Curchin Open, a nine hole indoor miniature golf tournament for charity.  Non-profits located in Monmouth and Ocean Counties are eligible to enter by writing a 250 to 500 word essay detailing the missions of their organizations and how the funds will be used for the greater good.  The Curchin Group’s partners will select the winners by June 30, 2013, based on the quality of the essay, the reputation of the organization and the proposed use of Curchin Open proceeds.  Local charities can visit www.curchin.com, for details regarding the submission process.  Essays can be submitted beginning May 1 and will be accepted until May 31, 2013.

Last year, with the support of more than 50 corporate and individual sponsors and dozens of participants, the Seventh Annual Curchin Open raised more than $13,000 for two local charities, with a total of more than $90,000 raised over the past seven years.  

Said Curchin Group Partner Peter Pfister, “We are excited to host our Eighth Annual Curchin Open, and over the years we’ve been very pleased with the turnout and incredible generosity of everyone who has helped make this event a success.  This year we hope to break our record and raise even more funds and awareness for two special charities in need.”

The event will take place indoors at The Curchin Group’s Red Bank, N.J. office in early November 2013, and additional information about the date and time will be available in June 2013.  Player fees are $20.00 per person, which includes one round of mini golf, food and beverages.  All proceeds from the event will benefit the two locally-based charities that will be selected through the essay submission.  Curchin is offering sponsorship opportunities to local businesses that would like to help the selected charities and elevate their profile in the community.
