ADL and El Caballero Country Club celebrated the 33rd Annual ADL/El Cab Golf Tournament & Awards Dinner on Wednesday, September 14. Alan Wiener was honored with the Sam Saltsman Award for his leadership and commitment to ADL, El Caballero and the greater Jewish community. In his remarks, Mr. Wiener praised ADL for its work to counter hate speech, but added that there is still work to be done to counter what impressionable people may interpret as a license to use hateful and bigoted speech.
Accepting ADL’s Corporate Community Service Award to Providence Tarzana Medical Center was Dale Surowitz, its CEO. He thanked ADL for working to eradicate the “virus of hate.”
Co-Chairs Alison Diamond and Ian Smith were on hand for welcoming remarks. ADL Regional Director Amanda Susskind provided an ADL update and former Los Angeles City Councilmember, Dennis Zine, served as live auctioneer. Attendees enjoyed a full day of activities, including 18 holes of golf and BBQ lunch, followed by dinner, award presentations and a live auction. Over 100 golfers participated in the tournament and over 250 guests attended the dinner in support of the honorees. The event raised over $250,000 for ADL.
