ABSECON LIGHTHOUSE PRESENTS LIGHTKEEPER BUDDY’S 91st BIRTHDAY EVENT ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24TH

Atlantic City’s very own “Buddy” Grover will turn 91 years young on Monday, September 24th. Buddy has been serving as a volunteer lightkeeper at the top of Absecon Lighthouse since 2009, and is beloved by residents of Atlantic City and lighthouse visitors. To celebrate Buddy’s birthday, he asked if we could host a FUNdraiser for Absecon Lighthouse…so we will! Attendees will enjoy a custom made “I Met Buddy at the Top of Absecon Light” T-shirt, soft spirits (maybe some ghosts too), snacks, and a climb to give Buddy a birthday hug at the top. Tickets are $30 per person, and a T-shirt is guaranteed with your reservation by calling 609-449-1360. Come on out and support our wonderful friend Buddy and your local lighthouse!

Absecon Lighthouse is open Thursdays through Mondays in September, 11am to 4pm. Last climb is at 3:30pm. The lighthouse is a state-owned historic property administered by the non-profit Inlet Public/Private Association. Located at 31 So. Rhode Island Avenue in Atlantic City, it is New Jersey’s tallest lighthouse and the country’s third tallest. Absecon Lighthouse received a general operating support grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission, a division of the Department of State.
