43rd Annual Frankel Kinsler Classic Tournament Raises Funds to Support Life Enrichment Programming and Services at JGS

Over 220 people participated in the 43rd Annual Frankel-Kinsler Classic Day of Tournaments at Twin Hill Country Club on July 15. This event raised awareness to enrich the lives of residents across the JGS Lifecare Campus of Care. In addition to golf, the tournament included pickleball, canasta and bridge tournaments!
Tournament History
The tournament is named in memory Michael Frankel, past Chairman of the JGS Board who passed away in 2013 at the young age of 49. It is also named in honor of the Raymond and Herman Kinsler Families, longtime supporters of JGS Lifecare. “The Frankel and Kinsler families have provided extraordinary leadership over the years to JGS Lifecare,” commented Susan Halpern, vice president of development at JGS Lifecare. “This tournament is a tribute to them and helps us continue their extraordinary legacy of caring and good deeds.” Last year over $115,000 was raised through sponsorships, donations and player registrations.
Participants were able to enter the tournament of their choice, a barbecue lunch, cocktail hour, awards dinner and an ice-cream sundae bar. Golfers had the chance to win several hole-in-one contests sponsored by Teddy Bear Pools and Tekoa Country Club. Charity Golf International provided golfers with the opportunity to donate to win a $5,000 Dream Golf Getaway. The $5,000 trip included: airfare for two to San Francisco, two nights at The Pebble Beach Lodge, and three rounds of Golf for two (Pebble Beach Links, Spyglass Hill & Spanish Bay).
Your Support Means So Much
Eldercare organizations like JGS Lifecare have been under severe financial stress due to insufficient funding through governmental programs that do not cover the costs of care; increased expenses due to rising costs; and critical staffing shortages. JGS relies on the community’s support to help raise financial resources and bridge the gap, and the Frankel-Kinsler Classic is a central source of the community’s support. This year’s event proceeds will fund the enhancements to programs and services that enrich the lives of our elders.
