8th Annual Elliot Curwin Memorial Golf Tournament at Victor Hills Golf Course

Elliot Curwin passed away on January 23rd, 2003 after a brief battle with cancer.

Elliot was more than just the retired president of VP Supply Corp, he was a leader in the business community and many Not for Profit organizations. He was actively involved with the Chamber of Commerce's Small Business Group, Rochester Home Builders and Rochester Community Baseball. The Rochester Red Wings may never have gotten their new home (Frontier Field) without Elliot's leadership and energy. Elliot was a great friend to many people, always taking time to listen to someone. He was selfless and always willing to help a person in need; a true champion of the underdog.
