PPB July 2019

In conjunction with Expo East in June, members of Specialty Advertising Association of Greater New York (SAAGNY) and their guests took part in a long-standing and beloved tradition—the golf tournament. This year’s Lenore Goldberg Memorial Golf Outing was held at the Stockton Seaview Golf Club with 12 foursomes teeing off at noon under breezy, blue skies. The first-place winning team was comprised of Dave Atlas, Henry Fajardo, Dan Torre and Jack Geiger. SAAGNY Golf Outing Raises Funds For Its Foundation SAAGNY’s golf tournament was named to honor the late Lenore Goldberg who was a legendary volunteer for the regional association and served as president in 2005-2006. Proceeds from the golf tournament benefit the SAAGNY Foundation, Inc., which was established in 1995 to provide educational scholarships, general assistance and a means for the promotional products industry to engage the community through charitable endeavors and activities. AzPPA Hosts Fundraiser For Local Animal Shelter The Arizona Promotional Products Association’s (AzPPA) new Philanthropy Committee hosted the regional association’s first fundraising event of the year on April 6. Puppies & Prosecco, a brunch to support local animal shelter, Home Fur Good, was held at The Churchill, a downtown Phoenix eatery, with a Mexican food buffet provided by Provecho catering. AzPPA’s 2019 Philanthropy Chair Stephanie Welch says, “We are so proud to have had such a successful event for our first venture in 2019. It was all for a great cause, and Home Fur Good truly appreciates our support.” AzPPA’s fundraiser collected approximately $500 in donations for the shelter, and two of the puppies in attendance left the day with possible adoption interviews scheduled for the following week. | JULY 2019 | 91 CONNECT
