PGA National Residents Attend

The Hearts & Hands Gala

Benefiting Connections School For Autism

PGA National residents participated in the 6th Annual
Hearts & Hands Gala on Feb. 17, to support local students
and adults with autism who attend Connections nonprofit
school. PGA residents Anthony and Sheryl Greene, Soni and
James Kay, Marc and Kathy Edenzon, Michael and Roxanne
Axelrod and Robin Bernstein attended the event and are
frequent volunteers for the school.
“This nonprofit serves some of the most underrepresented
individuals in our area – students and adults with autism who
often have nowhere else to turn for the specialized education
and therapies they need,” says Anthony Greene. “My wife
and I enjoy getting to play a part in the progress the students
and adult clients are making.”
The sold-out gala was held at the National Croquet
Center in West Palm Beach and featured the theme “Play Michael and Roxanne Axelrod with Gail and Robert Marc and Kathy Edenzon with Frankie and Irwin Edenzon
