Even though Cristo Rey Newark (CRN) has gone the way of Essex Catholic—shut down by the Archdiocese of Newark—the annual Eagle Open will still take place as rescheduled on Monday, August 17, 2020, at Ashbrook Golf Club in Scotch Plains, N.J. Since this annual event has supported CRN in the past, all proceeds, which will be collected by the Essex Catholic High School Foundation, will be used to assist displaced CRN students from the classes of 2021, 2022 and 2023 who are trying to enroll in another New Jersey Catholic high school to continue their education. The more funds we can raise, the more displaced CRN students we can assist. These young people have been hurt by the rather abrupt decision to shut down CRN—the only Archdiocese of Newark high school so-affected.
The Eagle Open price is $175 per golfer. Sponsorships are available: $5,000 for a large ad banner (includes four free players); $1,500 for a small ad banner (includes one free player); $1,250 for beer cart sponsorship (includes one free player); $2,000 for breakfast sponsorship (includes two free players); $2,500 for lunch sponsorship (includes two free players); $250-$1,000 for First Hole sponsorship ($1,000 includes one free player); $100 per hole for Holes 2-18 sponsorship. There is a Tricky Tray Fundraiser: $25 for 5 tickets, $50 for 15. Don’t golf? Join us for lunch, for $50. There is a $20 entry fee for the winner-take-all putting contest (50-foot putt), which begins at 8:15 a.m. The winner receives a $5,000 cash prize!

PLEASE NOTE: We are assuming that the current New Jersey COVID-19 Rule that restricts golf to one per cart—“Groups will be limited to one player per cart, unless you are immediate family members, caretakers, household members or romantic partners”—will be lifted by the August event.
