EPIC Long Island Raises Money at Family Golf, Tennis, & Pickleball Tournament

Hundreds came out to take part in and support the EPIC Family Golf, Tennis, & Pickleball Tournament at The Mill River Club in Upper Brookville.

The annual event is one of the key fundraising endeavors for the EPIC Long Island Family of Agencies, which has been serving communities across Nassau and Suffolk counties with a variety of programs that enrich the lives of individuals affected by epilepsy, developmental disabilities and emotional challenges.

The event featured three sports with pickleball being added this year. The golf portion consisted of multiple contests for putting, best ball, longest ball, as well as normal stroke play. The tennis portion featured a dedicated group of individuals who took part in a multitude of tennis drills and clinics led by tennis professionals from The Mill River Club, and a pickleball tournament followed in the afternoon.

“The EPIC team worked so hard to create an amazing event that was enjoyed by close to 200 people,” said Lisa Burch, CEO & President of the EPIC Family of Human Service Agencies. “Not only did everyone have a beautiful day to play golf, tennis and pickleball, but they did so while raising much needed funds for the EPIC Family of Human Service Agencies. We are grateful to everyone who supported the event. LI Tennis Magazine was on hand to take photos of the tennis and pickleball players and NYGOLF Magazine distributed framed photos for all of the guests.”

Off the court, the players enjoyed brunch and lunch throughout the day, and it concluded with cocktails and an awards dinner at the end. There were raffle tickets up for sale which coincided with an array of wonderful auction items including sports memorabilia, clothing accessories, U.S. Open tickets, experiences, jewelry and much more.

This year’s event honoree was John M. Comack of JGM-NY Construction, who helped transform a two-story commercial space into the new headquarters of the South Shore Guidance Center, allowing us to provide services to more people and better address the needs of the community.

EPIC Long Island has been serving the local community for more than 60 years, and continues to provide an invaluable service for so many Long Islanders. This year’s event once again helped raise money for the organization so it can maintain its level of service and continue to offer a wide-range of quality in-home, community, and site-based services.

It is events like this, and those who come out to support the events such as this, that allow EPIC Long Island to continue providing all the services it does.
