The 6th Annual Expect Miracles Foundation Atlantic Coast Classic took place on Monday, October 2, 2023 at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club in Bedminster, NJ. Expect Miracles Foundation’s largest golf tournament welcomed the financial services industry’s top executives for a fun day of golf and a record amount of on course fundraising.
During his opening remarks at the shotgun start, Executive Director Frank Heavey shared how grateful the Foundation is to the financial services industry for its support of EMF’s mission and reminded everyone why we were all gathered on this beautiful day- to fund life-saving cancer research.
Along with supporting EMF through participation in various on course contests, over 200 golfers made personal donations totaling over $11,000 in the friendly fundraising competition between courses. The River Course won with the most donors and The Forest Course won with the highest fundraising.
EMF is grateful for the generosity of our event sponsors and partners, and corporate sponsors, including our Foundation Sponsor BNY Mellon, who support our mission and make a positive impact on the cancer community.
