Longo Donarski Foundation
Mark Rossi and Paul Longo have been best friends since they were 12 years old. They were both each other’s best man, supportive uncles to each other’s children, and the first phone call to share life updates.
In 2019, Paul lost his sight in both eyes due to a retinal artery occlusion. Mark showed up for Paul in any and every way he could. Befitting of a lifelong best friend. Paul has since founded the Longo Donarski Foundation to provide resources for youth with visual impairments.
In 2023, after a year long battle with lung cancer, Mark Rossi passed away. He was an avid lover of golf. Passing on a passion for the sport to both his daughter Lauren and his son Nick. Knowing that Mark would want to continue to support Paul and his foundation any way he could, Lauren & Nick set out to carry on Mark’s legacy by creating the Mark Rossi Memorial Golf Outing with all proceed’s being donated to Paul’s charity.
Every summer we tee-off in Mark’s memory to raise money for his best friend Paul’s foundation.
