All Teed Up Florida outing boosts Detroit JCC.

Boynton Beach, Fla.

C

hildren of all ages benefit
from the South Florida golf
outing hosted by the Jewish
Community Center of Metropolitan
Detroit.
Upwards of $70,000 was raised
at the 10th annual JCC Michigan-
Florida Reunion Dinner, Golf Classic
and Games event held March 15
at Indian Springs Country Club,
Boynton Beach.
Proceeds will provide scholar-
ships for the Metro Detroit JCC’s
day camps, Sarah & Irving Pitt Child
Development Center and inclusion
programs for youth with special
needs. Almost half of all campers
receive assistance.
At the dinner, Renee and Earl
Ishbia of Bloomfield Hills were hon-
ored for longtime support of the JCC,
Federation and other Jewish and
charitable causes. They recalled how

the JCC, “always an important part of
our life,” has touched three genera-
tions of their family.
“We feel strongly that this great
organization will continue to service
the community for many years to
come,” Earl said to 193 dinner guests,
including many of the day’s golf and
games participants.
Outing volunteers unveiled a pic-
ture of the bench they donated out-
side the main entrance of the West
Bloomfield JCC in honor of Mort
Plotnick, reunion organizer and JCC
ambassador. The bench features a
plaque calling the retired JCC execu-
tive director and current JCC con-
sultant “a tireless champion of JCC
Day Camps & the annual Michigan-
Florida golf outing.”
In closing, Plotnick said: “All of us
here tonight have an obligation to
help those kids who our JCC is striv-
ing to serve back home.’’
