WESTCHESTER, N.Y., Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Community-Police Relations Foundation (CPR Foundation) brought together an impressive gathering of supporters, community leaders, law enforcement representatives, corporate partners and sports celebrities for its Third Annual Charity Golf Tournament, presented by Safe Haven Defense, at Trump National Golf Club Westchester.

The sold-out event underscored the continued enthusiasm and support surrounding the Foundation and its mission to strengthen relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve. The growing turnout has helped establish the Charity Golf Tournament as a signature annual event for the CPR Foundation, bringing together an increasingly diverse group of supporters around a shared commitment to community.

Adding star power to the day were Cristie Kerr, LPGA legend and two-time major champion; Darryl Strawberry, three-time World Series Champion and New York Mets legend; as well as Jim Fazio Sr. and Jim Fazio Jr., world-renowned golf course architects.

The tournament featured a variety of special on-course competitions and activations throughout the day.

The Cristie Kerr hole, presented by Safe Haven Defense and Kerr Cellars, and the Darryl Strawberry hole, presented by Apollo Jets, offered memorable opportunities to compete alongside sports legends, while DraftKings and Happy Dad brought additional activations and prizes to the course.

"This tournament is a reflection of the incredible momentum behind the CPR Foundation," said Al Eskanazy, Founding President & CEO of the Community-Police Relations Foundation. "Year after year, more people are coming together to support our mission and help us build stronger connections between law enforcement and the communities they serve. We're grateful for everyone who continues to believe in this work and make it possible."

Glenn Hechler, Vice President of the Board of Directors of the Community-Police Relations Foundation, added, "What makes this event so special is the quality of our community that comes together around it. Seeing our supporters, sponsors, law enforcement partners and special guests share this day is incredibly inspiring. The continued growth of the tournament demonstrates what's possible when people come together behind our meaningful mission."

After the tournament, guests gathered for a cocktail reception, where they enjoyed a curated wine tasting featuring Kerr Cellars from Cristie Kerr, followed by dinner, an awards ceremony, and live and silent auctions, extending the day's celebration while providing additional opportunities to support the Foundation's programs.

The event was made possible through the generous support of Presenting Sponsor Safe Haven Defense, along with JRM Construction Management, Happy Dad, Apollo Jets, DraftKings, Leros Transportation Group, Lucali, Ghurka Cigars, and other valued sponsors and partners.
