New Ground recently held its 21st annual Golf Outing and Dinner at Garden City’s Cherry Valley Club.

New Ground proudly honored Kelly Development Group President Michael Kelly. He was recognized by New Ground for his ongoing efforts to redevelop Long Island as well as for his work in the community. All those in attendance enjoyed a beautiful spring day, brunch, golf, competitions on the course, cocktail hour, Chinese auction and dinner. Participation in the outing helped to raise much-needed funds, which will benefit homeless families and veterans in New Ground’s Long Term Housing Program.
