This marks the fourth consecutive year that PGA TOUR Superstore has supported the “Day of Dreams” event through grants and in-kind donations. With this year’s contribution, the company’s total giving toward the event has reached $12,500 in grants and nearly $1,000 worth of silent auction prizes.

Christian Roguso, General Manager of PGA TOUR Superstore in East Hanover, emphasized the importance of community engagement: “At PGA TOUR Superstore, we believe in giving back to our local communities,” he said. “Rose House does extraordinary work, and we are proud to support their mission and contribute to an event that has such a meaningful impact on so many lives.”

Proceeds from this year’s golf event will benefit Rose House’s “Forever Home Project,” a capital campaign that will create an affordable housing complex in Chester Township, New Jersey.

DENVILLE — Families across Morris County are invited to a fun, hands-on learning experience as the annual Teddy Bear Clinic returns on Saturday, May 2, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Morris County School of Technology.

Designed for children ages 3 to 9, the Teddy Bear Clinic offers a unique opportunity for kids to bring their favorite stuffed animals for a “check-up” while engaging with local first responders in a relaxed, friendly environment.

Participants will have the chance to meet and interact with members of the Denville Police Department, Denville Fire Department, Denville EMS, the Morris County Sheriff’s Office, Saint Clare’s EMS, and the New Jersey Forest Fire Service. The event aims to build positive relationships between children and first responders while teaching important safety skills.

Throughout the event, children will take part in a variety of interactive activities, including building their own personalized first aid kits, learning fire safety techniques, navigating a fire-themed obstacle course, and exploring the science of fingerprinting. Young attendees can also try on real firefighter gear, offering a hands-on look at the equipment used to keep communities safe.

A highlight of the day will be the opportunity to explore real emergency vehicles, including fire trucks, police cars, and ambulances. This up-close experience allows children to better understand how these vehicles are used during emergencies.

In addition to the educational components, the event will feature face painting and temporary tattoos, ensuring a fun-filled experience for all attendees.

Organizers noted that the Teddy Bear Clinic would not be possible without the generous support of numerous local businesses and organizations, whose contributions have helped make the event a reality.

The event is free and open to the public. Advance registration is encouraged by visiting the Morris County Vocational School District website.
