Our Highlights
13th Annual Golf Outing
On Monday July 18th, 200 golfers enjoyed a day out of the office at The Mill River Club and the Pine Hollow Country Club in Long Island, New York, at enCourage Kids’ 13th Annual Golf Outing.
With the help of the event’s Chairmen, Hank Celestino, L&L Holding, LLC, Neal Garelik, Excel Global Security, Mark LoFrumento, Cool Breeze Air Conditioning, and Robert Speranza, Nouveau Elevator, and the entire committee this Outing has collectively raised an impressive $2.2 million since 2004.
After a wonderful day of golf, guests enjoyed cocktails and dinner, followed by the award presentation. This year’s honorees were Keith Colton of Himmel + Meringoff Properties, John Fitzsimmons of APF Properties, and Mike Sullivan of Edward J. Minskoff Equities. The evening concluded with a check presentation by the sponsors, Nouveau Elevator, Cool Breeze Air Conditioning, and Excel Global Security for $250,000 to enCourage Kids.
Thank you to all of our participants, new and old, who help to continue our annual outing and raise awareness and funds for enCourage Kids Programs and families. And very big thank you to this year’s committee. Because of their tireless dedication and support, this was the most successful outing to date.
Due to the success of this event, more people may have been encouraged to take up the sport, either as a hobby, something to do for fun, or with the intention of wanting to go professional. Regardless of what persuaded you to golf in the first place, you all have the possibility of using specialist pieces of equipment like a golf launch monitor to see which aspects of your game you need to improve on, such as your swing. Even professional golfers use something like that to help them continue up the ranks. And it can help you too. Attending successful events like this has the ability to change people’s lives. So, thank you to everyone who helped make this event one to remember.
