5th Annual Tee Off 4 CJ Memorial Golf Outing

The CJ Waldron Memorial Foundation was established by CJ's parents, Craig and Kathie, and his siblings, Paige and Jake, to honor CJ's life by giving back to the organizations that meant so much to him and his family.

What began as a way to celebrate CJ's memory has grown into a community united by generosity, friendship, and a shared commitment to making a difference. Through the annual Tee Off 4 CJ Memorial Golf Outing, the Foundation has proudly raised more than $160,000 over the past four years.

The Foundation supports two organizations that have had a lasting impact on the Waldron family and countless others:

Penn State THON, whose sole beneficiary is Four Diamonds, helps children and families battling childhood cancer by funding comprehensive care, groundbreaking research, and financial assistance for eligible medical expenses. To date, the Foundation has donated more than $60,000 to THON and its mission of creating a world without childhood cancer.

West Orange PAL provides opportunities for local youth through athletics, mentorship, and community programs that help young people learn, grow, and thrive. The Foundation has also donated more than $60,000 to West Orange PAL, including its most recent contribution toward rebuilding the new turf baseball field that will benefit generations of West Orange athletes.

CJ was a proud graduate of West Orange High School (Class of 2009) and Penn State University (Class of 2013). He was known for his infectious smile, contagious laugh, unforgettable dance moves, and the ability to make everyone around him feel welcome. His energy, kindness, and love for life continue to inspire everything we do.

As we prepare for our 5th Annual Tee Off 4 CJ Memorial Golf Outing on September 28, 2026, we are incredibly grateful for every golfer, sponsor, volunteer, donor, and community member who has helped make this journey possible. Your support has transformed a memorial into a lasting legacy—one that continues to create opportunities, provide hope, and strengthen our community.

Together, we are proud to honor CJ's life by investing in causes that change lives today and for years to come.
