The 35th Annual Geraldo Rivera Golf Classic took place at the Old Westbury Golf & Country Club, Long Island, NY. The event’s host, Geraldo Rivera, Emmy and Peabody Award-winning journalist kicked off the golf classic with a brunch before the golfers hit the course at noon. This year’s event honored Rosana Filingeri (Vice-President Cybersafe Solutions), John Murn (President, RSA Management Group) and Anthony Taormina Jr. (Vice-President of Operations, Rose Mechanical), as well as raised funds in support ofLife’s WORC and their mission of making a difference in the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Notable attendees included: Geraldo Rivera, Sean Hannity, Victoria Schneps, Rosana Filingeri, John Murn and Anthony Taormina Jr.
For decades, the groundbreaking Golf Classic and other high-profile events have helped bring hope and light to this once-marginalized population. The Life’s WORC team has been together since Geraldo’s critically acclaimed series exposing the deplorable conditions at the Willowbrook State School on Staten Island in January 1972, a half century ago.
Super-stars like John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Stevie Wonder, John Denver, and the Allman Brothers Band have all contributed with their talent and generosity. Like their concerts, charity boxing matches filled Madison Square Garden and brought thousands in celebration in Central Park. These events, including for the last 34 years the Geraldo Rivera Golf Classic, have raised millions and helped improve the lives of countless thousands.
