From staff reports • May 24, 2009 Pro Bowl guard Chris Snee of the New York Giants has been added to the list of
celebrities who’ll be on hand for the June 26 Maggie Memorial Charity Golf Tournament at Traditions at the Glen. Also added to the field for the event – shotgun starts at 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. – are Binghamton Senators hockey captain Denis Hamel and veteran NFL assistant coach Steve Sidwell, who was tournament organizer Isaiah Kacyvenski’s first defensive coordinator with the Seattle Seahawks. The fourth annual Maggie Memorial benefits The Children’s Home of the Wyoming Conference. Kacyvenski, a Union-Endicott High graduate who played eight NFL seasons before his retirement, said spots remain available for individuals or teams. The tournament will be preceded by a Sports Concussion Clinic presented by The Sports Legacy Institute, scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. June 25 at Union-Endicott High School. Admission is free for athletes and parents, and the fee is $20 for coaches and medical professionals- who’ll receive a 90-page workbook and have access to online tests. A question-and-answer session conducted by Kacyvenski and fellow ex-NFL player Ted Johnson will follow the presentation hosted by SLI founder and former professional wrestler Chris Nowinski – Kacyvenski’s Harvard University football teammate – and Brian Rieger, director of SUNY-Upstate Medical University Concussion Management Program and CNY Sports Concussion Center.
Kacyvenski recently learned he had been accepted into Harvard’s Business School, and will start classes in September. He said he’d also been accepted by MIT.
