St. Mary’s Children’s Hospital golfs for a good cause

BY CARLOTTA MOHAMED
In support of Bayside’s St.
Mary’s Healthcare System
for Children, guests came
together at the historic
Morefar Back O’Beyond
golf course in Brewster on
July 24 to raise funds for
the hospital caring for New
York’s most critically ill and
injured children.
It is the fifth year that John
Cahill, senior vice president at
Jones Lang LaSalle, and Joe
Gallitto, of the DJ Ambulette
Service, co-chaired the annual
St. Mary’s Golf Outing at
Morefar, which raised $128,300
this year and over $500,000
since its inception. All funds
raised at the event will be
donated to St. Mary’s, located
at 29-01 216th St.
“The patients at St. Mary’s
are inspiring young people
and we’re honored to support
them once again this year,”
said Cahill.
Gallitto added, “Over the
past five years, we are proud
to have raised more than
$500,000 to support these kids.
We look forward to many
years of continued success for
St. Mary’s Kids.”
The outing was sponsored
by Mercedes-Benz Manhattan
who supplied the Hole-In-
One car, giveaways, prizes
and a trip for the winner to a
National Final at the Pinehurst
Resort in North Carolina. DJ
Ambulette was the Breakfast
Sponsor and won the auction
prize for a future foursome at
Morefar Back O’Beyond.
On behalf of the St. Mary’s
community, Dr. Edwin
Simpser, president and CEO
of St. Mary’s Healthcare
System for Children, thanked
Cahill, Gallitto, Mercedes-
Benz Manhattan and all of the
golfers for their participation.
“St. Mary’s is an extremely
special place that helps
hundreds of kids live better,
happier lives,” said Dr. Edwin
Simpser, president and CEO of
St. Mary’s Healthcare System
for Children. “Because of
The historic Morefar Back O’Beyond golf course in Brewster where St. Mary’s held its July 24
fundraiser. Courtesy of St. Mary’s Healthcare System for Children

who care about children with
special needs, we are able to
provide high-quality pediatric
care, regardless of a family’s
ability to pay.”
