OHEL Omni Golf Classic 2014

10 Years and Going Strong!

The 140+ golfers who came to show support for OHEL at their 10th Annual Golf Classic could not have asked for a better day. The sun was shining, and the sold out crowd arrived at the beautiful Fresh Meadow Country Club ready to play a great day of golf, enjoy delicious food, and have the chance to win incredible raffle prizes, all the while benefitting the children and families of OHEL.

A special thank you goes to Jerry Weissman of Omni Managed Health for being the OHEL Omni Golf Sponsor. Jerry has been a longtime friend and supporter of OHEL and has participated in countless golf events in Long Island and Florida to benefit OHEL’s children. 

Special recognition goes to both Jenny and Michael Rosenberg from Hawke and Co. for sponsoring golf vests for every player in honor of the 10th anniversary, as well as Marc Herskowitz of Infinity Land Services who sponsored Ray-Ban sunglasses for every player.  

Thanks to Ben Englander, Izzy Kaufman, Jonathan Marks, Jeffrey Schwartz, and Michelle Sulzberger, OHEL’s Golf Chairs who all brought friends and sponsors to the Golf Classic. A special thank you as well to all of them for ten strong years and counting as Committee Chairpersons.

Congratulations to the winning foursome, which was comprised of Jason Cury, Yakov Horowitz, Jimmy Hynes and Ric Weinstein. Congratulations to the second place foursome, which was comprised of Scott Sulzberger, Matt Nullet, Harry Nullet, and Michael Schreiber. 

During the dinner, guests were treated to a special appearance by OHEL foster parents Shoshana and Yossi Cohan, who shared with the audience their journey through OHEL’s foster care program, which ultimately led to the finalization of the adoption of their baby boy a few months ago. His Bris actually took place the very next day. They encouraged all to help OHEL’s foster care program and sponsor a child.
