__________ The Ocean City Exchange Club was chartered in 1947, and is Ocean City, New Jersey's premier service organization. The Ocean City Exchange Club donates more than $50,000 to the community throughout the year in its mission to make our community a better place to live through the “three C's.” Members of the Exchange Club come from many walks of life and include elected officials, business owners, lifelong residents, newly arrived residents and civic leaders, but are all united in their desire to work to make our community a better place to live, and in the National Exchange Club’s mission to combat and prevent child abuse. The Roger LaRosa Charity Golf Classic is the Club’s largest fundraiser, raising over $18,000 in 2014.
