John Rochford

John Rochford served as chairman of the NJSGA Caddie Scholarship Foundation and CSF representative at Echo Lake Country Club since 1987. In his 30 years as Caddie Scholarship Foundation representative at Echo Lake, Rochford helped raise more than $800,000 and had more than 200 Echo Lake caddies receive scholarships to pursue college educations. “This award is well deserved for John. He stepped up early in the game at Echo Lake. He is an innovative fund raiser and really helped develop a solid caddie program there,” said Ed Batta, the long-time former CSF chairman. “John and I had the same goals in wanting to grow the program. John is a very much behind-the-scenes guy. He's embarrassed by accolades.”
