The sold-out event, which follows the Foundation’s also sold-out Charity Golf Tournament in Westchester, NY in September 2025, welcomed 35 golf foursomes and 180 dinner guests, including philanthropic supporters, top-tier corporate sponsors, law enforcement leaders, and distinguished sports, community, and business figures, underscoring the Foundation’s expanding influence and accelerating momentum.
Adding star power to the day were several legendary sports figures, including seven-time NCAA National Champion and Hall of Fame football coach Nick Saban, two-time World Series Champion and former New York Met Howard “HoJo” Johnson, three-time World Series Champion and former New York Yankee Jim Leyritz, 2024 MLB Rookie of the Year and 2025 Cy Young winner Paul Skenes, and 2016 World Series Champion Dexter Fowler.
Participants enjoyed an exclusive 18-hole tournament experience enhanced by interactive on-course challenges, including fan-favorite “Closest to the Pin” contests that allowed golfers to face off against Leyritz and Johnson for the chance to win special prizes, creating memorable moments that blended competition, camaraderie, and cause.
The day also included a gourmet lunch provided by Miami Beach’s Bar Luca, followed by an elegant cocktail reception, dinner, awards ceremony, and live and silent auctions, bringing supporters together off the green to celebrate the day’s purpose and the Foundation’s impact.
“This Charity Golf Tournament has become a signature event for our Foundation and a powerful example of what’s possible when communities, law enforcement, and prominent partners come together,” said Al Eskanazy, Founding President & CEO of the Community-Police Relations Foundation. “Launching this event in Florida represents an exciting chapter in our mission, reflecting the CPR Foundation’s impact and the growing support behind our work.”
