Geo Foundation - 3+ events per year

The Geo Foundation's events take place every year to support our two fundraising programs:

• Community Fund: Scholarships awarded across 5 high schools - Bloomfield, Glen Ridge, Montclair, and Wayne Hills & Valley. Each year, we bring these scholars together for lunches and dinners to learn from each other and develop alongside one another.
• Family Assistance Fund: Funding provided to families who have a child going through cancer at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. St. Jude helps every youth patient with treatment, housing, and food along with one parent at no cost.

The events we organize are:

• 5K Run and 1-Mile Walk (usually every May on a Saturday) in Bloomfield, NJ
• Golf Outing (usually every July on a weekday like Monday or Thursday) in Wayne, NJ
• Casino Night & Gala (usually every October or November on a Saturday) near Totowa, NJ
