About Ray of Hope Golf Classic…

The 2023 Ray of Hope Golf Classic was our inaugural event and proved to be an extraordinary testament to the power of our Sparta and Sussex County community and compassion in transforming the lives of children receiving care at St. Jude's Children's Hospital.

Through the unwavering support and generosity of our donors, volunteers, and participants, we were able to make a tangible difference in the lives of these young patients and their families.

From funding life-saving treatments to providing crucial support services and resources, the impact of last year's event reverberates through the halls of St. Jude's, offering hope, healing, and a brighter future to those facing unimaginable challenges.

As we reflect on the success of our first event, we are filled with gratitude for the collective effort that brought joy, comfort, and life-changing opportunities to the children of St. Jude's.

With your continued support, we look forward to building upon last year's achievements and making an even greater impact in the years to come.
