The Frankel-Kinsler Classic is named in memory of Michael J. Frankel, former chairman of the JGS Lifecare Board of Directors, and the families of Raymond and Herman Kinsler, longtime leaders and supporters, for their exemplary commitment to those served by JGS Lifecare.
The tournament is made possible through the generous presenting sponsorship of the following companies and/or supporters: Harry Grodsky and Co., Inc.; Astro Chemicals, Inc.; Epstein Financial Services; Kaste Industrial Machine Sales, Inc.; Meyers Brothers Kalicka, P.C.; NEFCO; and TD Bank. Additional sponsorships and raffle opportunities are still available. Members of the community are also invited to attend dinner at $60 per guest.

“As an organization whose majority of funding comes through Medicaid, we continue to seek ways to attract community support to help provide the necessary fiscal resources for us to maintain our quality of care” said Halpern. “Funds raised last year were used toward the purchase of a new wheelchair accessible van, providing essential transportation services for our residents and clients.”
