September 23rd in Wayne NJ: First Annual TEAM ZOEY Golf Outing Raises an Astonishing $180,000!

In honor of Zoey, who turned 1 year old in September and was diagnosed with Progeria at 5 months of age, Team Zoey held their first golf outing at the Preakness Hills Country Club in Wayne, NJ on September 23^rd. The event, organized by Zoey’s grandfather John Marozzi, was spectacular – complete with brunch, on-course refreshments, an elegant cocktail reception, gourmet dinner and live and silent auctions. Every single pre-registered golfer showed up, and dozens more joined the dinner and auction celebration, raising over $180,000 for Progeria research.

“It was a wonderful day and a fabulous success, more than we could have ever hoped for”, said John.
