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.
