Up for playing golf and meeting a
former football pro?
Staten Island Advance - May 3, 2004
The College of Staten Island (CSI) Foundation will
host its fourth annual “CSI Alumni and Friends Golf Outing” Friday
at the South Shore Country Club in Huguenot.
The ticket price of the golf outing is $175 and
includes green fees for 18 holes of golf, use of a cart, beverages
on the course and a deluxe barbecue lunch.
Breakfast and registration will begin at 7 a.m. with
a shotgun tee-off following at 8 a.m.
All proceeds will benefit the CSI athletics
department, student scholarships and student-leadership programs.
 John Mazza, president of Adak Contractors &
Consultants, Annadale, is chairing the event. Involved with the CSI
Foundation for three years, Mr. Mazza has served on previous golf
outing committees.
He and his firm are noted for volunteering their
services to various foundations, such as the GRACE Foundation and
Eger Nursing Home. He is currently on the board of the North Central
Kiwanis and was voted Kiwanian of the year 2002-2003. The
Tottenville resident and his wife, Jodi, have three children.
The golf outing event will feature extraordinary
giveaways, awards and prizes, a silent auction and raffle drawings.
During the deluxe barbecue luncheon following the
round of golf, Freeman McNeil, former New York Jet running-back,
will make a guest appearance. He will sign autographs and be
available for photo opportunities. Marty Lyons, his former teammate,
also is expected to attend.
Following lunch, a silent auction with various items
up for bid will be provided by Unique Memorabilia. Items will
include autographed photos from the cast of “The Sopranos” and “Sex
in the City” and memorabilia signed by Jackie Robinson, Joe Torre,
Rudy Giuliani and Derek Jeter, in addition to other items from
numerous celebrities.
An auction item that is noteworthy is a one-week
stay in a three-bedroom villa overlooking the 10th hole of the
Harbourtown Golf Links in Hilton Head, S.C., which is home to the
Heritage of Golf PGA Tournament.
