"As a Newark native, I know the rich heritage of our city. I've had the pleasure of working with some of the most intelligent and successful people who were also born here.

The proceeds from this golf event will go towards the Newark Youth Golf Program," stated Ernest Ruffin, Managing Director of ECSMG Consulting, LLC.
"It's through advantageous events such as the Golf Classic and Hip Hop business Summit, that our aspiring inner city youth are introduced to celebrities and executives who have roots in Newark, as well as other urban areas. It's a realistic way of saying to inner city youth who are faced with daily challenges, that they can achieve their goals and build a positive legacy for themselves and their families. While at the same time, present celebrities and executives not from the area, an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Newark through golf, nightlife, and hotels," Ruffin added.
