Joe Bucco Sr. was born and raised on Harrison Avenue in Matawan. He played on Matawan Football Championship teams in 1946 and 1947. Throughout his life he was active in the Matawan community, serving as a member of the Matawan Borough recreation committee, and eventually as the full-time director, following his retirement from Jersey Central Power & Light Co. Joe was a proud supporter of the Matawan Football program and a member of the Matawan Football Alumni Foundation until his death in 2006. It is for his lifelong support and dedication to the Matawan Football program that the MFAF is proud to name this annual event in his honor.

The MFAF would like to thank all who participate in this event and enjoy their day on the links.
