The third annual Kevin Regan Memorial Golf Outing will take place on July 31 at the North Hempstead Country Club Port Washington.
Kevin Regan, who was raised in Manhasset, was a resident of Port Washington for 13 years prior to his death on Feb. 21, 2021. Regan succumbed to leukemia at the early age of 47.
This event, which will benefit the Lauri Strauss Leukemia Foundation, honors the life of a man who meant so much to so many and who was taken from his family and friends much too soon.
The Lauri Strauss Leukemia Foundation supports young researchers in their field by awarding grants to innovative projects. The grants are monitored and selected by the Lauri Strauss Leukemia Foundation Medical Board.
The Foundation is honored to celebrate Regan and is gratified that the Regan family is helping with the fundraising efforts.
Lauri Strauss Leukemia Foundation is a charity that was near and dear to Regan and his family.
The wonderful people behind the foundation took a vested interest in Regan’s cancer battle. They were always available through his misdiagnosis and eventual correct diagnosis of Myeloid Sarcoma, a rare subset of Acute Myeloid Leukemia. That was a particularly tough time for the Regan family, but it was made infinitely better by the foundation’s understanding and compassion.
Regan was the kind of guy that everyone gravitated toward. He had natural charisma, a sharp wit and a dazzling smile that lit up a room.
His loss continues to be deeply felt by so many, but his family remains inspired by him to live their lives the way he did – with humor, courage and always with love in his heart.
He would certainly love the idea of people gathering together in his honor to play golf and celebrate his life.
On behalf of the Regan family and the Lauri Strauss Leukemia Foundation, a local charity doing a world of good, all golf players are encouraged to participate in the July 31 charity outing.
Pre-registration is required. Register online at www.lslf.org or call (516) 767-1418 with any questions.
Lauri Strauss’s family and friends established the Lauri Strauss Leukemia Foundation a tax-exempt, nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization. Lauri succumbed to AML leukemia at just 26 years of age. It is their hope that through the efforts of the Foundation, and others, a cure for leukemia and allied cancers will be found.
