Q&A with Cookie Lazarus: 80 years young and keeps on swinging
Why/how did you join the Y Golf tournament?
Sheldon Krakower who has been my life-long accountant is the one who asked me to join Y GOLF and I cannot refuse Sheldon anything.
What makes Y GOLF special?
For me anything that enhances the lives of children I support and want to contribute to.
Why is the cause of sending kids to camp important to you?
Giving back is a mitzvah and a blessing. People who come to play golf have fun and also get to send underprivileged kids to camp and we know how camp is important in a child’s development.
What is your most memorable moment at Y GOLF?
Young guys jumping up and down at the 1st hole. So nice to see them happy and having fun.
What does being honoured at this year’s Y GOLF mean to you?
It means I’m getting old! This year the Y Golf Tournament is a day before my 80th birthday, and it means I’m taking the day off, guilt free and celebrating.
