Rock and Wrap It Up! Sid Tanenbaum Memorial Tournament and Scholarships The 27th Rock and Wrap It Up! Sid Tanenbaum Tournament was held at sunny North Woodmere Park on June 2, 2013. The Paterson team won the Open Division. Carl Benn played on the team and was a winner of a Rock and Wrap It Up! Scholarship when he played in HS for Lawrence Woodmere Academy under the coaching of Jeff “Spanky” Weiss. The second place team was from Inwood and led by former Lawrence HS stand-out Conrad Stewart. The over 40 division was won by Eric Wagner’s team from Hewlett Harbor. T-shirts were awarded to all participants, provided by Port Jefferson Athletic Equipment. Refreshments were provided by Apple and Eve, Wall’s Bakery, The Bagelry, Island Bagel Bar and Starbucks. Three Tanenbaum scholarship winners were offered to Rock and Wrap It Up! from local schools. Each winner has both academic and athletic prowess. Lawrence Woodmere Academy named Junior Alex Kampogiorgas. Lawrence H.S. awarded multi-sportsman Eddie Robinson, who will be attending Colgate. HAFTR selected star Cary Oved who will be attending NYU. Sid Tanenbaum lived in Woodmere and was the first Jewish All-American at NYU and played on the first New York Knicks teams. Rock and Wrap it Up! is an award-winning anti-poverty think tank. We research, discover and nurture potential donors who have renewable assets to share. Our donors include touring bands, educational institutions, the hospitality industry, professional sports teams and TV/film shoots throughout North America. We find and vet agencies who need these resources thereby reducing the poverty footprint while reducing the carbon footprint.
