Over 90 participants from across the generations attended the KHDS 7th Annual Family Golf Outing on Sunday, February 6th at Boca Lago Golf & Country Club. The event, co-chaired by KHDS dads Joe Averbook and Dov Hochner, raised over $45,000 for the school’s Scholarship Fund while offering a great afternoon of ruach and fun for everyone.
Participants were greeted by Ari, the KHDS mascot (AKA Eitan Kaminetzky), received their swag bags, and cooled off with refreshing shaved ice from the Kona Ice Truck. Snacks were aplenty at the Snack Shack, and Physical Therapy Now of West Boca provided warm-up stretches before tee-off.
World Golf Hall of Famer, Dennis Walters, and his dog, Gus, performed an incredible and inspirational trick shot show which reinforced the message of pursuing your dreams and overcoming challenges, as Dennis was involved in a tragic golf cart accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down.
After the show, golfers departed for 9-holes of play, scramble style. Thank you to Dr. Eli Cohen/Cohen Center Dermatology and Cosmetics for donating the sunscreen. We also thank Eyal Cohen and IGS Security USA for keeping everyone safe, Greta Baum of Green Circle Design for assistance with the promotional products, and our official paparazzi, Jill Kaminetzky, who captured the memories of the day through her photography – check out the photos here!

The day concluded on the patio at Boca Lago as almost 150 guests enjoyed a delicious buffet catered by King David Divine Kosher Catering. During the dinner the contest winners were announced, the participant raffle took place and the event co-chairs were presented with a token of appreciation. Children also received a participation trophy to take as a memory of the day.
