On Monday, May
22, the JCC hosted the
29th Dr. Larry D. Sills
Memorial Golf Classic and
Dinner at Knollwood
Country Club. This year,
the JCC was proud to honor
Hannah and Adam Kessler
in recognition of their
extraordinary dedication to
family programming at the
JCC.
Hannah and Adam’s
involvement at the JCC
began in 2017 when they
enrolled in JBaby. This led
to many close friendships
and was a major influence
on their lives. Since then, the
Kesslers have both served on
the Board of Directors.
All proceeds from the
Sills Classic benefit youth
programming at the JCC.
This year’s event will help
provide more than 300
weeks of JCC Day Camp,
Pitt Child Development
Center and special needs
youth program scholarships
to children.
The JCC thanks all its
sponsors, donors and partic-
ipants for contributing to the
success of this year’s event
and for supporting transfor-
mational youth programs in
our community.
