Monday August 12, 2024, was the 17th Annual Golf Outing for the Myocarditis Foundation! It was once again held at the Arcola Country Club in Paramus, N.J., with its beautiful breathtaking views of the Manhattan Skyline throughout the course.
There were 103 players participating in addition to a number of additional dinner guests who joined us for honoring our recently deceased Board Member, Joel Aranson.
Joel was a member of our Board for over 10 years. He joined us to help spread the word about myocarditis after his stepson passed away from Giant Cell Myocarditis. He worked continuously to spread the awareness of the disease so that others would have the opportunity to survive this dreaded disease.
Joel’s widow, Diane Aranson, was there with their family to accept a heart shaped paperweight in memory of Joel and all that he did for the Myocarditis Foundation.
The Co-founders, Candace Moose and Dr. Leslie Cooper, as well as the Chairman of the Board, Joseph Rumore, spoke eloquently about all that Joel did to help the MF and what the Foundation meant to him over the years that he was a member. We know that Joel was there smiling and joking along with the others as he always did. His presence was deeply missed this year.
As usual, there was golf swag for the participants and a multitude of golf equipment and golf paraphernalia that was raffled off at the end of the evening. In addition, there was a Silent Auction with items, some of which included: World Series Tickets; Dinner for 4 at Rao’s Restaurant, NYC; Dodgers Baseball Tickets; Multiple Foursomes at prestigious Golf Courses; and a “Behind the Scenes Tour of the Major League Baseball Replay Center”.
We cannot thank the Participants, Donors and Sponsors enough for all that you did and have done over the years to support the Myocarditis Foundation and its Mission of Education/Raise Awareness, Emotional Support for those affected, and to help fund Myocarditis Research. This year we were able to raise over $180,000!
Thank you to all of you for all that you have done to make this golf outing such a success.
A special Thank You to Jeff Marthins, and the staff of Arcola Country Club, for their caring attitude to ensure that everything ran smoothly as always. Many attendees stated that this is the best outing that they attend annually!
