Howard Brodsky, chairman and co-CEO of CCA Global Partners, said he was pleased by the industry's support, especially in the wake of an economic slowdown. “In the economic climate we face today, it is more important than ever to support organizations like the FCIF that assist those who have fallen on hard times,” he said. “We are proud to be able to once again host this tournament and are thankful for the support of our industry friends and colleagues.”
The tournament was started in 2003 by both Brodsky and Greenberg.
