The 13 Annual Danny Ferrante JFK
Golf Outing & Gala Dinner was held at
the Stonebridge Country Club.
AIRPORT VOICE, SEPTEMBER 2019 25
This Golf outing is considered
The Premier Event of the
JFK Int’l Airport Cargo Community”
drawing the many
JFK companies that invite
guests from all over the country
to come play and support
deserving organizations in
the memory of Dan Ferrante,
a beloved man in the freight
forwarding community who
passed away from cancer.
Each year this event is attended
by his wife Brenda
who deeply appreciates the
support by all her husband’s
friends and colleagues. The
money raised by this event
had been regularly donated to
St. Judes Hospital and for the
second year First Company
Pink whose mission is to motivate
young women to be examined
at an early age to prevent
breast cancer. This year the
1st Company Pink celebrated
the passage of the NY State
law mandate insurance coverage
for DBT screenings.
The event is well known
for its fresh clam and oyster
bar. Fresher mollusks can’t be
found anywhere else. A fantastic
open bar and buffet dinner
was a real treat after working
the 18 hole course.
There were trophies for
the golfing winners and multitude
of raffle prizes which
help generate funds to aid in
the donations to their chosen
organizations in the memory
of Danny Ferrante and departed
friends Ron LeBac of
FedEx and Diane Lloyd of Air
France.
At the end of the evening,
guests were already talking
about “seeing you next year”.
That is the spirit that Brenda
Ferrante feels drives this golf
event forward each August.
