Columbia Bank Foundation is proud to announce that its Annual Golf Classic will support two impactful organizations that help create stability, opportunity, and a place to call home for individuals and families across New Jersey and Staten Island. The event will recognize
New Jersey Citizen Action Education Fund (NJCAEF) and On Your Mark for their meaningful contributions to local communities. The Annual Golf Classic will take place on June 1, 2026, at Hackensack Golf Club in Emerson, NJ.
“For nearly 40 years, the Golf Classic has been a proud part of Columbia Bank’s community commitment,” said Thomas J. Kemly, President and CEO of Columbia Bank. “By introducing this year’s event through the Columbia Bank Foundation, we have the opportunity to recognize two outstanding organizations whose work helps create greater opportunity, independence, and housing stability for people in need. We’re proud to build on this tradition in a way that deepens our support and extends our community impact.”
The New Jersey Citizen Action Education Fund (NJCAEF) is a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1983 to empower low- and moderate-income people and communities of color through direct counseling and services, research, education, and training on public policy issues important to working families. Each year, NJCAEF serves nearly 18,000 low- and moderate-income New Jerseyans, helping lift families out of poverty and increase economic opportunities for vulnerable households across the state.
Since 1979, the mission of On Your Mark is to provide innovative and comprehensive community-based services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities across their lifespan. Through person-centered programs that promote community and social inclusion, health and fitness, daily activity participation, independence, self-empowerment, and productivity, the organization helps each individual experience the highest quality of life possible.
Columbia Bank Foundation expresses its sincere gratitude to its sponsors, whose generous contributions help make the Annual Golf Classic possible.
