Pete McGuigan Memorial Golf Outing

August 24, 2026
Manasquan River Golf Club, Brielle

The Pete McGuigan Memorial Golf Outing is a day on the course in support of our mission and in memory of Pete McGuigan, a friend and generous supporter of Big Brothers Big Sisters, whom we will never forget.

The outing includes a full 18-hole round of golf, breakfast, and lunch, plus you’ll hear from our Bigs & Littles about how your support is enhancing in their lives and friendships.

Pete began volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters in 2010 as an officer on the Governance Board of Trustees and a dedicated mentor to his Little Brother Daniel. In 2022, Pete and Daniel were named the agency’s Big and Little of the Year because of their strong bond that exemplified the BBBS mission. Pete played an integral role in planning our first annual golf outing in 2012 and remained part of the event’s planning committee for 13 years, helping it grow into what it is today.
