We are extremely grateful and equally excited to announce that our generous friends from Barlow Buick GMC of Manahawkin are returning for the 3rd year as our Presenting Sponsor. We are honored when a respected business in the community like Barlow Buick GMC combines forces with us to support our families battling a cancer diagnosis.
In 2013, this event was renamed to honor Frank V. Panzone Jr. Frank was so involved in the community throughout his life and his giving spirit shined throughout his battle with stage IV cancer. His spirit, determination and courage in the face of indomitable odds are only a few of the reasons we are so proud to call this event the Frank V. Panzone Jr. Memorial Cruisin’ for a Cure! Frank’s daughters are both living legacies to Frank, as Kristin Panzone Moritz is serving her second term on our Board of Directors and was recently elected Vice President. Jillian Panzone Elsasser served as a Board Member through 2015 and currently sits on our brand new Advisory Board. Jillian also serves as President of the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce, a position in which her father served for many years. The Panzone Family and their businesses, Panzone’s Pizza in Surf City and Panzone’s Pizza & Pasta in Beach Haven have been supporters of David’s Dream & Believe Cancer Foundation since our first pizza party fundraiser at the Ship Bottom Fire House in December 2010.
We are also excited to announce that the Beach Haven Moose Lodge, 120 NJ-72, Manahawkin, will be the starting point for this year’s ride. The Beach Haven Moose Lodge and Beach Haven Moose Riders have been so good to us throughout the years and we look forward to our new home for the start of the Frank V. Panzone Memorial Cruisin’ for a Cure. Registration begins at 9:00am with kickstands up at 10:45am. A donation of $30 (individual), $50 (couple) and $20 for each additional passenger in a classic car. Price includes 1 rider, 1 ticket to after party and 1 commemorative pin per person. Breakfast will be served by the Beach Haven Moose Lodge for $8.
You do not need to ride a bike or own a classic car to enjoy the party, live music and games at Joe Pop’s Shore Bar & Restaurant Ship Bottom from 12:00-4:00pm. PRE-PURCHASE your tickets until Sunday April 22 to save on admission ($20 – Adult 18 and up) and ($10 – Kids 10-17).

Cosimano Memorial Golf Classic presented by: Bergen Risk Managers to benefit: David’s Dream & Believe Cancer Foundation (DDBCF) with support from: Hackensack Meridian Health, Otterstedt Insurance Agency and Jetty will take place at White Beeches Golf & Country Club on Monday June 4, 2018.
The Cosimano and Caldarella families both grew up in north jersey but spent every summer and most off-season weekends together on Long Beach Island. The Cosimano’s are family to Co-Founder David Caldarella. As many of you know, Frank A. Cosimano passed away on August 7, 2011 from Pancreatic cancer. Frank loved his wife Angela, daughter Kim son Jason, daughter-in-law Dorothy, his 6 grand kids, friends, animals, golf and most importantly helping others. He was passionate about giving back to individuals and charities. One charity that was very close to Frank and remains close to his family is DDBCF. Please join us as we honor and remember this great man at The 3rd Annual Frank A. Cosimano Memorial Golf Classic on Monday June 4th.
We want to thank Jason Cosimano, Kim Cosimano, Mrs. Angela Cosimano and Dr. Robert Siconolfi for serving as Co-Chairs for this event. Jason is currently serving as a member of our Board of Directors.
A special thanks to our Golf Committee that includes family members and long-time friends from both the Caldarella and Cosimano families. We want to recognize Michael & Todd Accomando, Danielle Corso, Lauren Komsa Curtis, Karen Guerra Hanson, Leonard Kaiser, Jaqueline Ceccarelli-Komsa, Stephen P. Sinisi Esq. and Christina Ulmer.
Thank you to Greg Porcino from Golf Event Management. Also, want to thank the staff at White Beeches Golf & Country Club and long-time friends of the Cosimano and Caldarella families: Lauren McGovern and Jim McGovern.

Ross established Trident Multisport to bring excellent multisport events to southern New Jersey. Giving back to the community is a major focus of their team as well as promoting healthy lifestyles.

“Ahuwale ka po’okela I kau hana ia ha’i.” It is through the way you serve others that your greatness will be felt.”
Our student groups from Southern Regional Middle School and High School will help manage the logistics of the event with support from our youth group Generation Dream.
