PORT WASHINGTON, NY (May 19 2025) — Helen Keller Services (HKS) is proud to announce that AKAM, a trusted leader in property management, has signed on as the Title Sponsor for its 34th Annual Golf Classic, taking place Monday, June 23, 2025, at the Village Club of Lake Success in Great Neck, NY.
As Title Sponsor, AKAM helps drive forward a day of purpose and impact. The company’s support fuels essential programs that open doors to independence, employment, and connection—ensuring that individuals who are blind, DeafBlind, or have low vision have access to the resources they need.
“Supporting Helen Keller Services is a natural extension of our commitment to community enrichment,” said AKAM CEO Ken Greene. “At AKAM, we don’t just manage properties—we help shape environments where people can thrive. We’re very proud to sponsor this important event which showcases the important work Helen Keller Services does to uplift people and strengthen communities.”
The Helen Keller Services Golf Classic is an annual fundraising event supporting initiatives that create lasting impact. These include vocational training and job placement, employment-focused technology programs that prepare participants for careers in today’s digital economy, assistive technology supporting communication and independence, expanded services for children—including a summer camp on Long Island—and support for older adults adapting to vision loss later in life.
“We are honored to have AKAM join us as Title Sponsor for this year’s 34th Annual Golf Classic,” said Larry Kinitsky, Chairman of the Board at Helen Keller Services. “Their generosity strengthens our ability to provide life-changing services—from early education and programs for youth to job readiness and support for older adults losing their vision. Partnerships like this don’t just fund programs—they help build futures.”
For more than 130 years, Helen Keller Services has provided comprehensive, person-centered services through its two divisions: Helen Keller National Center for DeafBlind Youths and Adults, and Helen Keller Services for the Blind. From early childhood education, a summer camp on Long Island and programs for youths, to assistive technology training, vocational rehabilitation, and specialized support for seniors with vision loss, HKS transforms barriers into opportunities and creates pathways to independence at every stage of life.
The 2025 Golf Classic will feature a full day of activities, including continental breakfast, noon shotgun start, BBQ lunch, and an evening cocktail reception, dinner reception, and awards program.
“We’re looking forward to a fantastic day on the course and connecting with others who share our passion for strengthening communities,” said Mr. Greene. “It’s going to be a memorable event filled with great golf and even greater purpose.”
