Rosman Golf Outing
Teed Up for 10th Year
R
yan Rosman’
s family has turned
tragedy into a day that benefits
thousands of Jewish students at
Michigan State University.
The 10th annual Ryan Scott
Rosman Memorial MSU Hillel Golf
Outing & Game Day
will be Monday, June
17, at Tam-O-Shanter
Country Club in West
Bloomfield.
Rosman died Nov.
5, 2009, at age 19 when
he was a sophomore at
MSU. He was injured
by a bus after attending a Detroit Red
Wings game at Joe Louis Arena in
Downtown Detroit.
His parents, David and Marla
Rosman, are the driving forces behind
the outing established in his memory,
which has raised more than $900,000
over nearly 10 years.
To help push the fundraising total
above the $1 million mark, an anon-
ymous donor has agreed to match up
to $10,000 from new and increased
outing sponsorships.
“Ryan was all about helping people,
which is what we’
re doing through
the outing. We know he’
d want some
good to come out of a tragedy,
” Marla
Rosman said.
“It’
s hard to believe it’
s been 10 years
since we started the outing. Some peo-
ple have come to the outing every year
and we really appreciate it.
”
The outing celebrates Ryan’
s passions
for golf, community and entrepreneur-
ship.
On the latter passion, he started his
own business when he was only 12
years old. Krusin’
Customs was an auto
detailing company that grew to include
technicians who installed navigation
systems and remote starters.
He was a 4.0 student in high school
and at MSU while also working part-
time. He volunteered at the MSU Hillel
and was active in Alpha Epsilon Pi
fraternity while in college.
His plans were to enter MSU’
s Eli
Broad College of Business, then pursue
a master’
s degree in business adminis-
tration at the University of Michigan.
As for the June 17 golf outing, games
like canasta, bridge and mahj jongg,
dinner and an auction also are on the
agenda.
More than 300 people are expected
to attend, raising funds for the Ryan
Rosman Leadership Fund that includes
engagement and Jewish Business
Association scholarships, the Ryan
Rosman Entrepreneurial Grant Fund,
the Ryan Rosman Memorial Student
Golf Outing and programming at all
10 Hillel chapters under the HCAM
umbrella at other Michigan college
campuses.
Then there’
s the Ryan Scott Rosman
Angel Award established by the
Rosman family.
The $5,000 award is presented annu-
ally to a Jewish student at MSU who
needs tuition assistance and embodies
Ryan’
s qualities of caring, giving, aca-
demics, entrepreneurship and engage-
ment in the Jewish community.
This year’
s winner is sopho-
more Jordan Robinson from West
Bloomfield.
“Our family picks the Angel Award
winner,
” Marla Rosman said. “It’
s
always a difficult decision. One year
we had two winners because we just
couldn’
t decide.
”
Cindy Hughey, MSU Hillel executive
director, said the Rosman outing has
become the organization’
s signature
community event.
“We’
re grateful for the support of the
Rosman family, friends and communi-
ty who recognize the impact Hillel has
on Jewish students,
” she said. “We’
re
honored to further Ryan’
s memory in
this meaningful way.
