Huntington Golf Outing To Benefit Local Not-For-Profits

HUNTINGTON, NY — The Daniel Gale Foundation's third annual outing is coming to Huntington.

The event is scheduled for June 9 at the Huntington Country Club, at 483 Main St., Cold Spring
Harbor.

It will feature a day of golf, tennis, and pickleball to benefit charitable causes across Long Island, the North Fork, the Hamptons, Brooklyn and Queens.

This year's event's honoree is Julia Poli Pecora, a Huntington native and Centerport resident, who is vice president of partnerships at UBS Arena and the New York Islanders.

"Now in her sixth season with the team, Julia has played a pivotal role in the franchise, leading numerous revenue generating sales efforts," the Daniel Gale Foundation stated. "Julia’s work, which was pivotal to the successful opening of UBS Arena in November of 2021, continues to greatly benefit the organization. Most notably, Julia recently secured a long-term partnership with JetBlue Airways."

Pecora, a seasoned sports industry executive with 17 years of experience, has held key roles as an executive with the National Football League, Under Armour, and FOX Sports before joining the NY Islanders.

The Daniel Gale Foundation is the philanthropic division of Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty.
