About the Tournament
The Abitz-Angel Memorial Tournament is sponsored by the Men’s Club of Beth Sholom B’nai Israel to raise funds for charitable causes. Our efforts are inspired by Todd Abitz, who was a member of Congregation B’nai Israel and was instrumental in starting and sustaining a charity golf tournament. Todd was a popular and dedicated member of the B’nai Israel Men’s Club, who chaired the Golf Tournament in 1998 and 1999. The Tournament was originally renamed in his memory.
William “Bill” Angel played in the tournament for most of its existence and contributed generously to it for many years. Bill was an avid sportsman and high school football coach. Bill and his wife Linda, along with their children Melanie and Derek, were members of Temple Beth Sholom. Bill passed away in September, 2017 from a brain tumor. His sense of humor, energy and compassion for family, friends and all activities that he participated in will be greatly missed by all. He asked that memorial donations go to the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center Foundation for Pediatric Oncology. That is why we are partnering with Connecticut Children’s again this year as a major beneficiary of this tournament.
We are certain that Todd and Bill would be pleased that the tradition of raising funds to help local people in need has continued.
We appreciate your support and encourage you to join us. Thanks in advance for helping us make this year’s tournament a success!
Help kids like Myer
Myer is one tough cookie.
A few months after his sixth birthday, he endured an eight-hour neurosurgery, a seven-day hospital stay and a grueling four-month-long recovery. In 2015, headaches and vision problems gave way to a cascade of unusual symptoms that brought Myer and his parents to Connecticut Children’s.
