About the Heartline Classic

The Heartline Classic is an inaugural charity golf outing benefiting Center for the Heart, a New Jersey-based nonprofit providing compassionate, non-clinical support for individuals and families navigating serious illness, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, caregiving, end-of-life transitions, and grief.

This event honors Jonathan Strelzik’s ongoing journey with Alzheimer’s and the community of family, friends, colleagues, and loved ones who continue to surround him and Holly.

Golf has long been one of Jonathan’s gathering places: a space for friendship, mentorship, conversation, and connection. The Heartline Classic carries that spirit forward by bringing people together in support of families facing some of life’s hardest passages.

What began as one family’s experience now helps create support for many families navigating Alzheimer’s, dementia, caregiving, serious illness, end-of-life transitions, and grief.

Every person will face death.
Every family will face grief.
Yet we have not built the systems to support either…

C4TH exists to change that—and our donors are the ones making it possible.

Make an impact at the individual level while also catalyzing social change through end-of-life and grief literacy.
