The Jack B. Kodesh Memorial Tournament is dedicated to a charismatic individual whose passion for life was matched only by his love of bringing people together. While his passing left a huge void in the lives of many, his memory lives on through the charity work of the Jack B. Kodesh Foundation. The Foundation was started by several friends and family members to carry on Jacks’ legacy through community reinvestment initiatives. The Foundation aims to address various problems affecting Puerto Rico’s underserved youth in the areas of education, health, development, and wellness. It supports a programs, partnerships, and initiatives that strive to positively impact Puerto Rico’s youth and their families through philanthropy and community service programs.

Jack had an incredible passion for sports, particularly for the game of golf. From growing as a star student-athlete at St John’s High School to his days as an All-Conference Division 1 Varsity Golfer at Lehigh University. Jack loved to golf and loved his friends even more. In Jacks’ honor, the Foundation has decided to host an annual golf tournament, The Jack B. Kodesh Memorial Golf Tournament, which seeks to encompass all that Jack stood for in life while raising funds for a great cause.

Please join us for this very special event that we hope will last for years to come.

Rafael “Iky” Kodesh
