This annual event benefits a scholarship fund in the memory of Michael Stacy, who was the Crew Chief of the Point Pleasant High School Competition Marching Band from 2007 until his passing in 2010. 

"Mr. Stacy was an exceptional man, kind hearted, hard working and always willing to go that extra mile for anyone," according to a prepared statement from the foundation.

"Mr. Stacy supported his daughter as well as all of the students in the Point Pleasant High School Competition Band and performing arts programs, and volunteered as his son’s baseball coach. He devoted much time and effort to these programs all in the spirit of giving.

The Michael Stacy Memorial Scholarship Foundation was created in his name to support the students in the Point Pleasant Borough High School Competition Band program that exhibit the generosity of spirit that Michael always showed.

Each year a scholarship is awarded to an instrumentalist and/or a color guard member in the Competition Band who is a graduating senior pursuing further academic education. 

This student will be selected for demonstrating the special spirit and leadership qualities that are reminiscent of Mr. Stacy’s commitment to the program. In the past three years, the success of the outings have enabled the fund to provide scholarships to several Point Pleasant Borough High School graduating seniors and also provide needed equipment for the Competition Band program.

As Michael was an avid golfer, this outing was conceived as the primary fundraiser to support the scholarship fund. We anticipate that this annual event will continue to provide scholarships and funds to support the students and the program.

The golf outing will include skill contests and a dinner and gift auction afterwards. There will be sponsorships available for the dinner, cart and driving range sponsors, hole sponsors,  and lunch and beverage cart sponsors. Dinner reservations will also be available separately."
