THE HISTORY OF THE OCEANPORT SPORTS FOUNDATION

THE OCEANPORT SPORTS FOUNDATION

The Foundation was established in 2002 by fourteen community minded individuals who wanted to improve the Borough of Oceanport's athletic fields and facilities. Since its inception, the Oceanport Sports Foundation has been committed to improving the quality of youth recreational sports within the Borough of Oceanport. Fundraising by the OSF members has had an appreciable impact upon the recreational facilities enjoyed by the residents of Oceanport.

When the 2007 Breeders Cup World Championships came to Monmouth Park Race Track, the OSF hosted a Charity Polo Match as part of the Breeders Cup Fan Fest Events...followed by a second Charity Polo match in 2008. As a by-product of these two events, the soccer fields at Maria Gatta Park were given a much needed makeover. The fields at Maria Gatta Park to this day are in far better condition due to the joint efforts of our own Department of Public Works and the many volunteers of the Sports Foundation and its corporate sponsors.

Since its inception, The Oceanport Sports Foundation has provided grant funding in an amount approaching $100,000 to a variety of programs and organizations within the Borough of Oceanport.

The Oceanport Sports Foundation's Annual Holiday Wine and Food Tasting Festival is a success because of the support of people like you. The Oceanport Sports Foundation would like to thank everyone for attending our annual gala and we hope to see you at future OSF events. The Oceanport Sports Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization, registered with the State of New Jersey as a charitable entity, and is permitted to solicit funds in the State of New Jersey. If anyone is interested in volunteering some time and joining the OSF, please contact one of our members and let them know.
