On November 14, 2024, the Monmouth Park Charity Fund held its 77th Annual Distribution of Funds Tea at the picturesque Turf Club at Monmouth Park Racetrack. This heartfelt event celebrated 51 Monmouth County nonprofit organizations, awarding them Traditional Legacy Grants to support critical community programs.

The event also recognized outstanding volunteers, with nominees receiving certificates of appreciation. Sue Richman from Parker Family Health was honored as the Volunteer of the Year for her exceptional dedication.

Generously sponsored by Robin and John Klein and founding sponsor New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG), the celebration brought together grant recipients, community leaders, and supporters. Guests enjoyed delicious cuisine and heartfelt stories highlighting how these grants will transform lives across the county.

The awarded grants are set to fund programs that address essential needs, including services for at-risk individuals and those with special needs. Representatives from the recipient organizations shared personal accounts of the profound impact these funds will have on their clients.

Since its establishment, the Monmouth Park Charity Fund has distributed over $10.7 million in grants to local nonprofits.
