• The main event we hold each year in hopes of collecting donations is our annual golf outing. All proceeds from this event will go directly to fund projects supported by the Epstein Community Foundation. Our team of volunteers will have the chance to donate their time to these projects as well, so they can understand personally the value of giving back to others within our communities.
