All proceeds from this event benefit Elks Camp Moore, the New Jersey Elks State Project.Tucked away in the hill of the Ramapo Mountains, Elks Camp Moore offers a fun filled vacation away from home for children with special needs. A week at Elks Camp Moore is a remarkable experience not soon to be forgotten. The primary goal of the camp is to further develop the recreational and social skills of each child. In a relaxed and accepting atmosphere , each camper experiences new adventures, lasting friendships, and opportunities that promote independence and greater self-confidence.
Campers attend Elks Camp Moore at no charge to the families. Throughout the plunge season, each Elks lodge helps raise the funds needed to cover all camp costs. The lodge that raises the most during plunge season is announced at the John Sentner Memorial Plunge. The Toms River Elks Lodge has been amongst the top three lodges in the state in terms of fundraising for Elks Camp Moore for seven years now. The 2024-25 Toms River Elks Plunge Committee strives to continue this tradition.
In addition to the Christmas in July event, the Plunge Committee is also hosting a Plunge Bowling Bash in August, Designer Handbag Bingo in October and Brunch with Santa in December. Members of the community are welcome to join in the fun at all of these events. Sponsorships are still available for all three of those events.
Toms River Elks Lodge #1875 is one of eleven lodges in the Southeast District of New Jersey, in addition to Asbury Park/Wall, Bayville, Brick, Howell, Jackson, Lacey, Lakewood, Manahawkin, Manasquan and Point Pleasant. The Toms River Elks Lodge is committed to serving its 1,300+ members and the community of Toms River and surrounding areas, as well as Southeast District, State and National Elks programs.
