Food Industry’s Premier Golf Event Had Record Number of Golfers and Prizes
The New Jersey Food Council (NJFC) recently held its Annual Golf Outing at the Suburban Golf Club in Union Township, with two rounds of golfers throughout the day.
The July 29 event, widely known in business circles as the “it” golf outing of the year, was the ideal venue for networking among the state’s food industry movers and shakers. It was the strongest showing in recent memory of food industry executives representing retail, manufacturers, brokers, wholesalers and convenience stores from across New Jersey.
“We are proud to host the premier industry golf event that exceeds our expectations every year,” said NJFC President Linda Doherty. “The generosity and camaraderie of the members at this outing is like no other food industry event. This enormously popular outing always brings out a great mix of food trade associates and retail executives.”
NJFC had an enormous goodie bag, filled with donations from NJFC’s retail and supplier members and industry partners. The event also included a S’mores station on the course from Kraft Heinz, and a sampling station from Evie’s Snacks to showcase new products. Event sponsors CLA and Mission Foods provided a cigar roller; EisnerAmper sponsored the golf balls.
