Close to 250 friends, donors, community and business leaders attended United Hebrew of New Rochelle’s 37th annual Golf Tournament on Sept. 11 at Brae Burn Country Club in Purchase. The event included an elite 18-hole golf tournament, gourmet lunch, cocktail hour and awards reception, where members of the Silverman family were honored for their long-time involvement. The event raised over $350,000 for the care of residents of United Hebrew’s campus in New Rochelle.
The Silvermans, including Leon Silverman, who founded Silverman Realty Group, and his daughters, Bonnie Silverman Nardozzi and Jill Silverman Greenspan, who now run the family business known as SRG 2 Partners, have been active in philanthropic causes throughout their lives. In addition to their involvement with United Hebrew, they also support UKA Kaufman Campgrounds, United Way, and the Boca West Children’s Family Foundation. Giving back has always been central to their family’s values, noted Silverman Nardozzi, who accepted the award on their family’s behalf.
“My father-in-law, Anthony Nardozzi, lived at United Hebrew for several years and was always so happy and well cared for. We are so pleased to support this organization and the important work that you do. We are humbled and thank you for this honor,” said Silverman Nardozzi.
The golf outing is a signature fundraiser for United Hebrew, which provides comprehensive health-care services for some of the region’s most vulnerable residents, including skilled nursing and rehabilitation, assisted living and memory care and affordable senior apartments. Donations from the event make a significant impact on the lives of the residents and families served by United Hebrew.
“Proceeds from our golf outing are used for enriching activities, therapies and programs that foster a meaningful lifestyle for residents across the entire campus,” explained Rita Mabli, president and CEO.
