ABANA invited you to a very special event created to help advance ABANA’s mission during a very critical time for the organization.

Last year, ABANA launched the ABANA Foundation 501 (c) (3) public charity and its inaugural program, the John Mack ABANA Fellowship for MBA students. We were delighted to report great success in both these endeavors, especially the selection of the inaugural class of fellows whom we believed embodied the best of ABANA’s values and potential leadership. We hoped our community shared our pride in these developments as well as our belief that by investing in future generations, we were investing in our collective future!

Building on this momentum, we hoped to make the ABANA Foundation and John Mack ABANA Fellowship self-sustaining, in order to continue impacting future generations as well as guarantee ABANA’s own membership for years to come using the synergies and contacts these endeavors would provide. As such, we asked for your attendance and tax-deductible financial contributions towards the ABANA Foundation’s “John Mack ABANA Fellowship Golf Fundraiser” that took place on August 13, 2024, at the Deepdale Golf Club in Long Island.

It was a very exclusive and limited-capacity event, for which we were grateful to Joe Perella for hosting at his golf club, and to John and Christy Mack for attending personally. We were also grateful for the event sponsors: UBS – PJT Partners – MSCI – Stonepoint Capital – Mastercard – Gabelli Funds – Morgan Stanley – and other individual sponsors.

If you had wanted to attend the event, you could have purchased a ticket via the links below. If you had wanted to sponsor the event or an entire golf foursome as an institution, you could have emailed fellowship@abana.co, and we would have responded with the sponsorship details. As this was one of the first solely-fund-generating programs for the foundation, we could not stress enough the importance of our community succeeding and setting an example for future generations to come. That said, we thanked you in advance for your continued support and contributions.
