Salaam Club hosts golf outing to raise scholarship money

It was a hole in one for the Salaam Club of New York, which hosted its annual golf outing Sept. 27.

The event, which was held at the Marine Park Golf Course, raised money for a scholarship fund for Brooklyn high school seniors.

The day included raffles and first-place prizes for the longest drive and closest to the pin. A dinner followed the outing.

Salaam Club Chairman Ralph Succar said the turnout was higher than the previous year, with 70 people participating.

“I’m trying to build up the scholarship fund to be a formidable asset to the club so we can help applicants get a significant amount of money and we can give it to more applicants,” he said. “It was a fun and beautiful day. We would like to reach 100 golfers in an ideal situation, but we are working on it. We need the support of the community.”

The club will present scholarships to four students at its upcoming annual gala.
