A Message from Jen Tartaglia-Hershkowitz
Welcome to the 11th Annual Vic Hershkowitz Foundation Doubles Handball Event. The David Posnack JCC is once again hosting this charity event for the benefit of special needs children and young adults in memory of Vic Hershkowitz. Your generous donations last year provided funding for children to attend camp at the DPJCC this past summer. The JCC special needs camp has over 140 children, and we greatly appreciate your continued contributions, which provide summer program scholarships.
This year we will welcome Joe Durso and Freddy Koran into the Vic Hershkowitz Hall of Fame. Joe has won 16 national one-wall titles, 9 singles and 7 doubles. In 2002, he made it to the national semis at the age of 47. In 2012, Joe Durso was inducted into the USHA Hall of Fame.
Freddy Koran was one of the most colorful personalities at Flamingo Park. In 1964, Freddy was the first winner of the Bob Haas Memorial Tournament at Flamingo. He also won the Southeastern Regional Championships in 1961 teaming with Bob Haas.
The Ken Ginty Award will be presented to Don Duarte. Don played on the pro circuit in his early career. He was Ken’s opponent many times. In 1986, Don and Kelly Russell won the World Doubles championships as well as numerous national doubles titles teaming with Mike Kelly and Don Chamberlin. Don’s biggest thrill was starting out carrying his dad in tournaments and now having his son, Ryan, carry him.
By donating to the Vic Hershkowitz Foundation Fund, your name will be permanently inscribed on the beautiful 2019 plaque and displayed on Vic’s Wall of Fame across from the handball courts at the JCC . Many thanks for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you at the 2019 three-day handball extravaganza!
Please contact 954.434.0499, ext. 105 or 120 for more information.
