GREATER OCEAN TOWNSHIP CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
CELEBRATES COMMUNITY, SERVICE AND SUCCESS!

Ocean Township, NJ – The Greater Ocean Township Chamber of Commerce (GOTCC) held its Annual Scholarship Fundraiser Comedy Night & Gift Auction on Thursday, November 21st at The Renaissance, Ocean Township.

Thunder 106’s Pork Roll & Eggs Morning Show DJ, Tom Devoy entertained the crowd as the Master of Ceremonies. Headliner, Joe DeVito had the audience hysterically laughing and shared the spotlight this year with fellow comedian Veronica Mosey. The duo kept the audience laughing all night long. “It was obvious by the reaction of the crowd that these comedians were resonating with this group,” said David Kolakowski, GOTCC Board President. “It was great to see people out having such a good time. It was exactly what we all needed!”

The event began with a cocktail reception, gift auction viewing, and networking followed by a buffet dinner, open beer and wine bar and the comedy show.  

The Comedy Night & Gift Auction’s main goal is to raise the funds to allow the GOTCC to award annual scholarships to deserving local high school students, lessening the burden of pursuing their higher education.

“The gift auction is an important part of the event. We would like to thank all of our generous donors for the amazing variety of gifts. Without their generosity it would not be possible to award these scholarships,” stated Regina Longo, GOTCC’s Executive Director.

 Information about scholarship applications and eligibility requirements will be posted on the GOTCC website soon.

The Comedy Night & Gift Auction and all major GOTCC events and services would not be possible without the continued support of our 2024 Corporate Sponsors: Ansell Grimm & Aaron, Monmouth Medical Center, Manasquan Bank, and Family First Urgent Care.
