Extreme heat and humidity did not keep golfers and volunteers from supporting the Hebrew Academy of Tidewater Konikoff Center of Learning’s 30th Annual Golf Tournament, also known as The Bob Josephberg Classic. With a heat index in the upper 90’s, the golfers toughed out 18 holes at the superb Cypress Point Country Club. Players and volunteers were rewarded after the competition with an airconditioned clubhouse and an awards reception that included a delicious meal from the Cardo Café, prizes for the tournament winners, and remarkable raffle prizes.
Many members of the community, led by champions Bob Josephberg, Angela Jenkins, and tournament co-chairs Ilana and Nathan Benson, united to support the annual tournament and the school.
“The golf tournament is our biggest fundraiser,” says David Leon, HAT president. “Thanks to 105 generous sponsors and 65 raffle prize donors, we raised over $137,000 to help make a Hebrew Academy education accessible for all students. Our donors have invested in the education of our future leaders.”
David Cardon, HAT vice president of development, says, “Our heartfelt thanks go out to all of the parent volunteers, HAT trustees, and HAT and Campus staff who assist with the months of planning, fundraising, and finally, the precise execution of the tournament to make it a very successful event, year after year.”
“Hats off to Keith King and his team at Cypress Point for a fantastic tournament,” says Heather Moore, HAT head of school. “We are so fortunate that Cypress Point was able to accommodate our event in August. Since the High Holy Days fell on certain Tuesdays in September and October, Bayville Golf Club was not able to meet our needs for a golf outing this year.”
The tournament plans to return to Bayville on Tuesday, September 17, 2019, according to Moore.
