OHEL GOLF CLASSIC BENEFITS CHILDREN!
144 Tee off at Engineers Country Club!

A great day of golfing fun, camaraderie for a great cause and great prizes, giveaways and sumptuous food took place recently at the Engineers Country Club in Roslyn Harbor, NY where a full field of 144 golfers teed off to benefit OHEL. Players were spread out over the eighteen hole course and there were contests for the Top Foursomes, Closest to the Pin, Longest Drive, Closest to the Line and Hole-in-One as the players competed in the tournament. The clear blue skies and perfect weather matched the perfect enthusiasm and fun had by players and sponsors at the event.

Best of all—all proceeds benefitted OHEL’s Children Home and Family Services – a winning event for players and OHEL.

A fantastic day featured a scramble format; special gifts for every golfer, including an Amazon Kindle courtesy of Infinity Land Services LLC; and numerous raffles with super prizes. Hungry golfers enjoyed a full breakfast; a BBQ on the course; a cocktail hour reception and a sit-down Awards Dinner at the conclusion of the tournament, when the winning foursomes and raffle winners were announced and the prizes awarded.  

Winners included: First Place Foursome: Shawn Rosenthal, Gregory Rhein, David Flamholtz and Danny Lewis; Second Place Foursome: Daniel Abrams, Rob Winters, Daniel Greenspan and Baruch Kleiman; Third Place Foursome: Jason Cury, Ric Weinstein, Rabbi Yakov Horowitz and Brian Cury.  

President of Infinity Land Services LLC, Marc Herskowitz, sponsored the Amazon Kindles for all players.  “I’m honored to be the Amazon Kindle sponsor at this premier golf event. My business associates, colleagues, and friends are proud to support OHEL and everyone had a wonderful day golfing at this wonderful tournament.  It gives me great pleasure to know that my sponsorship helps an OHEL child and family and I am glad that many of my friends and colleagues who joined for the day learned about this great organization and how it makes a difference in the lives of so many individuals and families,” said OHEL Board member Marc Herskowitz. 

Golf Classic proceeds will benefit the thousands of children and families served by OHEL Children’s Home and Family Services. OHEL acknowledged the dedicated chairpersons and Golf Classic Committee, headed by Ben Englander, Izzy Kaufman, Jeffrey Schwartz, Jonathan Marks and Michelle Sulzberger who worked tirelessly to create this special event for a special cause.

OHEL also is grateful to its many Corporate Sponsors.
