We are especially grateful to our honorees, Jessie and Scott Bennett of the Beacon Light Foundation, for their dedication to our community and their ongoing support of Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital. It was an honor to recognize their commitment and generosity during this year’s event.
Because of your support, the Golf Classic continues to help advance healthcare services for patients and families throughout the East End.
