Doing Good: Golf tournament raises money for food bank

“When was the last time you went to bed hungry and it was not on purpose?”

Dr. Salvatore Minicozzi, a Sandy Springs-based chiropractor, asks this question to motivate guests and attendees at his annual golf tournament to realize the importance of giving back to the community we live in.

Minicozzi combined a passion for golf and giving back to bring together the community for a good cause. “I play golf and wanted to host a fundraiser to support a local cause” he said. “The outreach the food bank has across the state to combat food insecurity was something that resonated with me and it has been a great partnership ever since.”

For the past 12 years, he has hosted the Doctors Against Hunger Golf Tournament, which teed off on May 14 at Towne Lake Hills Golf Course in Woodstock. Over 150 participants came together to raise money for the Atlanta Community Food Bank.

Doctors Against Hunger has raised over $70,000 for the food bank and this year, it raised over $7,800 which will help ACFB and its partner agencies provide more than 31,000 meals across Georgia.
