Lee foundation closes in on $600K of charitable giving
‘Live Fridays’ concerts at Ball & Socket Arts
By Robert Mayer Special to The Citizen
If you ask people around the town of Berlin what the Ryan T. Lee Foundation does, many would likely point to the charity golf tournament it hosts at Timberlin, the local public course, which is followed by dinner at the
Aqua Turf. But the golf tournament is only one of the foundation’s annual fundraising efforts. Dedicated to honoring the enduring spirit of Ryan Lee, the non-profit actively seeks out opportunities to make a difference in the lives of others.
Lee died in 2009 from injuries suffered when he was hit by a car in Brooklyn near his college, Long Island University.
The “Live Fridays” free, outdoor, public concert series takes place throughout the month of August at Ball & Socket Arts, 493 W. Main St.
Lee was a star golfer and basketball player at Berlin High School, and continued his golf career at LIU.
The remaining schedule: Aug. 11: 7 to 9 p.m., Stefanie Clark Harris and Stephen Peter Rodgers (singer-songwriters); Aug. 18: 7 to 9 p.m., Sperry Creek (bluegrass); Aug. 25: 7 to 9 p.m., Thaddeus Black Band (funk).
