2017 Annual Golf Outing
ONSF, in conjunction with Greenwich Hospital, held its 9th Annual Golf Outing on Monday, June 5th at the outstanding Stanwich Club in Greenwich, Connecticut. Golfers, who were welcomed by staff and volunteers, enjoyed lunch on the terrace followed by a round of golf.
Later in the day, non-golfing friends and other supporters
joined the players for cocktails, silent and live auctions and a dinner
reception.
Within the realm of our mission, this partnership provided an
outstanding golf experience to specifically benefit ONSF clinical research,
medical education and community outreach programs all of which substantially
improve patient treatment and care while enhancing healthy, active living.
Recently, ONSF announced a major research initiative Unraveling the Opioid
Epidemic in Post-Surgical Patients. Utilizing its skills, ONSF will work
diligently to resolve this significant problem that is affecting a very sizable
group of individuals.
Michael Clain, MD, Adam Ercoli, Rich Granoff and Vicki Leeds Tananbaum chaired the event and were assisted by Golf Captain Chair, Jeff Mendell. The Live and Silent Auction committee, led by Amy Sethi, amassed an outstanding array of items.
Charity Auctioneer, Dr. Paul Apostolides, encouraged enthusiastic Live Auction bidding, including a party catered by Watson’s with Horseneck Wines, a weekend drive in an Aston Martin from Miller Motorcars, a behind the scenes tour at The President’s Cup Golf Tournament hosted by Peter Jacobsen, a chef’s dinner party at Mill Street, training with the Yankees courtesy of the YES Network, a Curtain Bluff Resort vacation as well as other fabulous items. Super Silent and Silent Auction lots offered fabulous vacations, unique entertaining opportunities, unusual sport experiences, numerous rounds of golf at prestigious courses in and around Fairfield County, and tickets to concerts and athletic events.
Generous sponsors who supported the event included Serendipity, NEBCO, Constitution Surgery Alliance, IDSS, Greentree Toyota Danbury who provided the “hole-in-one” car, Patriot Bank, McHale Pest Management, Summer Rain, Houlihan Lawrence, Granoff Architects, Watson’s Catering, Fieldpoint Private, Tripp Lake Camp and Camp Takajo, Horseneck Wine and Liquor, Westfair Communications, Thomas Cleaners and many other philanthropic businesses and individuals.
