38 years ago, Sr. Peg Hynes and James MacFarlane, (Tournament Chairperson) started the tradition of the Heart of Camden Golf Classic. This event offered local businesses and companies a way to Do Their Bit for the children and
families of the Waterfront South community while enjoying time on the links.

During her 16 year tenure as Executive Director of the Heart of Camden, Sr. Peg was a tireless activist and advocate for the poor. Inspiring countless Volunteers and Supporters, she helped the areas’ residents secure decent and affordable homes in the Waterfront South community, home of the Sacred Heart Church.

Sr. Peg joined with Fr. Michael Doyle who encouraged everyone to Do Their Bit, built on the belief that even small acts of generosity and involvement lead to profound, lasting change.

The Sister Peg Hynes Award for Service was established in 2003 to be awarded each year at her beloved Golf Classic fundraiser now named in her honor. This year we are proud to announce our recipient is Wayne Heilman, Owner/President Burlington VW-Kia in recognition of his loyal support of the Tournament and Sr. Peg's legacy.

Join us Thursday May 22 at the Pennsauken Country Club.

Sincerely,

As we approach the 37th Annual Sister Peg Hynes Memorial Golf Tournament, we’re not just celebrating an event; we’re marking the 40th Anniversary of the Heart of Camden, Inc. This milestone signifies our long-
standing dedication as one of New Jersey’s oldest community development organizations, committed to the
revitalization and empowerment of Camden’s neighborhoods.

This special year, our golf tournament will not only continue its tradition of camaraderie and competition but
also spotlight the transformative projects and initiatives we are embarking upon. From building homes that
anchor families and communities to launching comprehensive programs aimed at education, health, and
economic development, our efforts are tailored to meet the evolving needs of the communities we serve.
In 2024, we’re focusing on several key areas:

Expanding Affordable Housing: Continuing to increase access to safe and affordable housing
for more families in Camden.

Enhancing Community Spaces: Developing and rejuvenating public spaces to foster community
engagement and wellness.

Empowering Youth and Families: Launching new educational and support programs that address
the holistic needs of our residents.

The Sister Peg Hynes Memorial Golf Tournament offers a wonderful opportunity for you to be part of this
journey. Your participation and support enable us to carry forward these initiatives, building a stronger, more
vibrant Camden. Join us on Thursday May 23 for golf (12 noon registration, 1pm shotgun tee-off) and Awards
Dinner (5:30pm) at the Pennsauken Country Club. Enclosed are the various ways you can contribute including

As we celebrate 40 years of dedicated service, your support is more crucial than ever. Together, let’s honor this
legacy and continue to make a difference in the lives of Camden’s families and communities.
Thank you for being part of our story and for your continued partnership in building a brighter future
