Second Annual CPR Foundation Charity Golf Tournament Brings Community and Law Enforcement Together for a Day of Unity and Fundraising

BRIARCLIFF MANOR, N.Y., Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On Monday, September 15, 2025, the Community-Police Relations Foundation (CPR Foundation), in partnership with Broadstreet Global as the Presenting Sponsor, hosted its Second Annual Charity Golf Tournament at Trump National Golf Club Westchester, bringing together community leaders, law enforcement, business executives, and philanthropists in a powerful show of solidarity and support for safer and more unified communities. 

Now in its second year, the event reflects the continued vision of Founder and CEO Al Eskanazy, to strengthen ties between police and the community. Over 160 participants teed off for the cause, enjoying an 18-hole tournament with dynamic on-course activations, friendly competitions, and interactive contests designed to support initiatives that improve relations between law enforcement and the communities they serve. Guests were also treated to a gourmet lunch, followed by a cocktail reception and dinner featuring networking, an awards ceremony, and both live and silent auctions. 

A highlight during the dinner was the recognition of three distinguished public servants whose work embodies the spirit of community service. Mount Vernon Police Chief Marcel Olifiers and NYPD Chaplain Frank Chiaramonte were each presented with a commemorative watch to honor their unwavering dedication to the community. Their leadership and commitment to bridging divides were celebrated with heartfelt applause. Mount Vernon Mayor Shawyn Patterson-Howard was also recognized for her steadfast support of law enforcement and community engagement. In her remarks, the Mayor spoke about the impact the CPR Foundation is making in her community, emphasizing the importance of continued collaboration between civic leaders and community-driven organizations.

"When officers and community leaders share the same fairway, it creates an impact that transcends a single event," said Glenn Hechler, Vice President of the Board for the CPR Foundation. "This Tournament showcased the power of our Foundation's work and its ability to bring people together in an exciting, yet meaningful way." 

Proceeds from the event will support the CPR Foundation's outreach efforts, initiatives, and programs including law enforcement-led youth athletics and mentorship, back-to-school and food distribution events for families in need, and mental health support for officers. These activities are part of the Foundation's broader mission to foster a stronger connection between law enforcement and the communities they serve by facilitating positive interactions that build unity, trust, and understanding. 

"Events like this Tournament demonstrate the real impact the CPR Foundation creates by giving community members the opportunity to build genuine relationships for a common cause," said Joseph Baldassarra, President of Broadstreet Global. "Broadstreet Global is proud to support an organization that understands how these connections translate into safer, stronger, and more unified communities."
