MSO’s 30th Golf Outing Raises Record Sum for Families of Children with Cancer

May 2025

Glen Rock, NJ – For more than three decades, MSO, Inc. has championed the work of the Emmanuel Cancer Foundation (www.emmanuelcancer.org). In celebration of this partnership, on May 20 MSO teamed up with 70 golfers and a range of corporate and charity sponsors to raise a record donation for ECF.

The golf outing has provided an opportunity for MSO staff, member companies, and associates to enjoy a day of camaraderie for a great cause. Emmanuel Cancer Foundation provides support services, free of charge, to New Jersey families facing the crisis of pediatric cancer. Among those services are in-home counseling, advocacy, emergency financial aid, material assistance, and human comfort. In addition to the golf outing, MSO supports ECF’s food pantry.

Heron Glen Golf Course in Ringoes, NJ hosted the golf outing. The 18-hole event began with a shotgun start and included a variety of skill tests, culminating in a Pot ‘O Gold challenge sponsored by B & D Group investments. Many golfers participated, and Pot ‘O Gold victor, Alvaro Villarreal from Guy Carpenter, donated his winnings to ECF.

During the post-round dinner, MSO paid tribute to new and repeat sponsors whose support helped to make the outing possible, and to staff for hours and effort beyond their regular duties. Golfers who participated in the event year-after-year were also recognized, including former MSO staff member, Laura “Pepper” Treuvey. Pepper golfed in all 30 MSO outings and was instrumental in planning the event during her tenure with MSO.

Thanks to the generosity of players and sponsors, MSO collected $17,220 for the charity. Proceeds will be delivered to Joann Passantino, Executive Director for ECF.

MSO is preparing a commemorative digital photo album which will be available soon.
