Hempstead, NY – The Hofstra Department of Athletics hosted the 24th Annual Hofstra Pride Golf Classic and Auction honoring Colonel E. David Woycik, Jr. (Ret) Esq. '77, '80, the current President of the Hofstra Pride Club, on Thursday evening at the Meadow Brook Club in Jericho, New York.
The evening program was highlighted by Woycik’s remarks and the presentation of the first Jack Lenz Memorial Lifetime Achievement Award to Robert F. McKeon ’53. McKeon was honored for his personal and financial commitment to Hofstra Athletics.
"Special thanks to all the Pride Club members and friends of the athletic program that participated in the 24th Annual Hofstra Pride Golf Classic and Auction,” commented Hofstra University Vice President and Director of Athletics Jeffrey A.

Funds raised at the event will be directed to The Metzger Fund for Capital Improvements which provides for new facilities and enhancements to current facilities utilized by our student-athletes. Special congratulations to the event's honorees - Col. David Woycik and Bob McKeon."
