Three professional sports stars will attend The Bridge Golf Outing fundraiser on July 24, 2023, at the Engineers Country Club in Roslyn, NY, along with some of Long Island's top golfers and business leaders. Dwight Eugene Gooden, also known as Doc Gooden, is a Cy Young Award-winning pitcher who played 16 seasons in Major League Baseball. He is joining another pro baseball champion, Jim Leyritz, as well as NY Knicks legend John Starks, to help raise funds for The Bridge's nonprofit mission to provide housing and treatment for New Yorkers struggling with mental health and substance use.

Doc Gooden will arrive at 9:30 am and be available to sign photos and connect with attendees and media. Jim Leyritz and John Starks will play in foursomes with golfers who are bidding in an auction for the opportunity; other auction items include sports memorabilia and luxury vacations.

Jim Leyritz recorded a video for The Bridge Golf Outing as a call to action on the issues of mental health and substance use that have impacted the lives and careers of many professional athletes. Gooden, Starks, and Leyritz stepped up to help raise awareness and funds for The Bridge, which provides comprehensive healthcare, therapy, and housing for more than 4,000 New Yorkers annually with a focus on the community's most vulnerable, including the elderly, disabled, and veterans.

CEOs revolutionizing philanthropy through inspiring charitable actions

Today marks the launch of "Power Hearts," an innovative initiative led by businesswoman and visionary Nora Abou Chakra. With each endeavor, Power Hearts embarks on a different mission, empowering CEOs to take direct action and make a tangible impact.

Nora Abou Chakra, a respected entrepreneur known for her philanthropic endeavors, has once again demonstrated her commitment to driving social change with the launch of Power Hearts. Under this empowering initiative, CEOs from diverse industries come together to tackle pressing issues and create transformative solutions.

An example of these missions is hunger. Power Hearts combats hunger and alleviate the suffering of those affected by it. CEOs gather in a large-scale communal kitchen, where they actively participate in purchasing groceries and cooking meals for those in need.

The immersive experience provided by Power Hearts goes beyond the kitchen. CEOs physically hit the streets, personally distributing the freshly prepared meals to individuals experiencing hunger. This direct interaction with those in need further deepens their understanding of the issue, sparking a profound connection and a sense of shared humanity.

CEOs return to their organizations with a renewed perspective and a profound commitment to addressing the issue of hunger. They become ambassadors for change, leveraging their influence and resources to advocate for hunger relief initiatives within their respective communities and among their staff members.

Nora Abou Chakra, the driving force behind Power Hearts, expressed her enthusiasm for the initiative, stating, "Power Hearts aims to create a ripple effect of compassion and advocacy. By immersing CEOs in the realities of pressing social issues, we ignite a powerful drive for change that reverberates throughout their personal and professional spheres. Together, we can make a significant difference and create a more compassionate and equitable world."

Power Hearts represents Nora Abou Chakra's unwavering commitment to leveraging the influence and resources of business leaders for the greater good. By providing CEOs with transformative experiences, Power Hearts empowers them to become catalysts for change and advocates for social causes that resonate with their hearts.
