Golf Tournament Raises Nearly
$230,000 for Asthma Cure
Benefits the Fund to Cure Asthma at National
Jewish Health
|
|
New
York – Nearly 2 million New Yorkers live with asthma. Within
the city, asthma-related emergency department and hospital
discharge rates are higher than anywhere else in the nation.
For 20 years, the annual Golf
Tournament in New York has
supported the Fund
to Cure Asthma at National Jewish Health, the
leading respiratory hospital in the nation. This summer’s
tournament on June 13, 2016, at Fresh Meadow Lake Country
Club raised nearly $230,000 bringing the tournament’s
20-year total to more than $6 million.
“The Fund
to Cure Asthma was
first established in 1994 to raise money for research at
National Jewish Health with the objective to understand,
treat and eventually conquer asthma,” said Event
Co-Chair Bob Helpern.
The Fund was established by Marjorie
and Stephen Raphael, and Nancy
and Jim Berry Hill, with the goal of raising $14
million to help the millions of children and adults
worldwide with this challenging disease. |

ust shy of 90 golfers hit the links for the
event while 25 attendees savored time in the pool and lounge
area at the club. All participants enjoyed cocktails and a
buffet dinner.
This year’s tournament honored Samuel
B. Lewis, event chair emeritus, who has led the
tournament for two decades.
“National Jewish Health has practiced its
collaborative and compassionate model of care from its
campus in Denver for 117 years,” Lewis said. “For the past
20 years, I have been waiting for this tremendous
institution to open its doors in New York City, and now it
has. Since January 2015, it has collaborated with one of the
best medical schools in the nation, the Icahn School of
Medicine at Mount Sinai. They have created a world-class
destination in New York for patients suffering from asthma,
COPD and other lung diseases.”
The Mount
Sinai – National Jewish Health Respiratory Institute has
logged more than 21,000 patient visits since its opening.
Physicians at the Institute provide a level of care for lung
disease that was not previously available in the New York
Metropolitan Area or on the Northeast Corridor. More
information is available at therespiratoryinstitute.org.
Lewis,
along with Co-Chairs Helpern and Stephen
B. Siegel, headed the tournament.
