LOS ANGELES — On July 29, the Armenian Bone Marrow Donor Registry (ABMDR) held its first-ever Charity Golf Tournament, at the La Canada Flintridge Country Club Golf course, in Los Angeles.
Benefiting ABMDR’s life-saving mission, the tournament brought together enthusiasts and supporters from throughout California, including 56 accomplished golfers, as well as a dynamic team of volunteers, most of whom represented NextGen, ABMDR’s recently-established youth group.
The tournament was co-chaired by ABMDR Board members Armond Mehdikhani and Hutch Postik. The organizing committee included ABMDR Board member and longtime supporter George Titizian, Steve Chelebian, Alan Artunian, Hovig Garabedian, and Masis Moradi.
Mark Geragos, Esq., Chairman of the ABMDR Board of Directors, presented the trophies to the top three golf teams, as follows: First Place: Alan Artunian, Hagop Khatchadourian, Ara Bedros and Hovig Garabedian; Second Place: George Titizian, and Mark, Nicholas and Kristopher Mikaelian; and Third Place: Babken, Zareh, Armen and Nareg Amirian.
“This was an absolutely delightful event,” said ABMDR President Dr. Frieda Jordan. “It drew seasoned golf players and spectators, as well as our young volunteers, for an exciting tournament, and, most importantly, for helping raise funds for our organization’s life-saving mission. Our heartfelt thanks go to our wonderful sponsors, the tournament committee, participating golf players, and all of our Board members, volunteers, and supporters!”
