Links for Lex Golf Outing to benefit scholarship fund

Posted

Iron Girl Project (IGP) is proud to partner with Stanton Ridge Golf and Country Club, along with the Heritage Cares Foundation, to host the second annual Links for Lex Golf Outing and Dinner.

The event will take place on Monday, Sept. 18, with registration and lunch starting at 11 a.m. and a 12:30 p.m. shotgun start.

The registration fee of $225 for golfers includes a day of golfing on the Stanton Ridge Par-71 championship golf course, a grab-and-go lunch, beverage and snack service on the course, participant’s gift, cocktail reception and full buffet dinner, bar service and dessert. The event will also feature a 50/50 Raffle Helicopter Ball Drop, basket raffles, a silent auction and a chance to win a new car with a Hole In One contest.

All proceeds raised benefit the Iron Girl Project’s Alexea G. Karpinski Memorial Scholarship Fund. In June 2023, IGP awarded nine scholarships totaling $20,277.00 to graduating high school student-athletes who demonstrated leadership, determination and compassion on their teams, in their classrooms, and in their communities. The amount of the scholarship given to each winner was $2,253 to reflect the jersey numbers Lex wore at Hunterdon Central, No. 22 for lacrosse and No. 53 for field hockey.

Iron Girl Project Inc. was created to honor Alexea “Lex” Karpinski, an aspiring two-sport D1 varsity athlete and Honor Roll student in her junior year at Hunterdon Central Regional High School who passed away suddenly in November of 2020. It supports high school student-athletes in their journey to create their own legacy, one which has a positive impact on their teammates, families and communities. Lex worked hard to be strong both physically and mentally.

According to her parents, Danielle and Mike Karpinski, “Lex believed that every day was a chance to be greater than the day before, for herself, friends, teammates and coaches. It was important to Lex to prove her worth and create a positive legacy.”
