Mark Salah Morgan, a Morristown (NJ) resident, will be the guest of honor at the LIFE’S WORC Annual Golf Classic to be held Monday, June 2nd at the Edgewood Country Club in River Vale (NJ). LIFE’S WORC (WWW.LIFESWORC.ORG) is headquartered in Garden City (NY) and was established 43 years ago by Victoria Schneps, a newspaper publisher in the Borough of Queens (NY), with help from broadcast journalist icon Geraldo Rivera, a River Vale (NJ) resident.

Zebatto credits Geraldo Rivera, one of WABC’s weekday broadcast talents with facilitating this influential broadcast outlet’s endorsement. “Geraldo has been a faithful participant at past LIFE’S WORC golf outings, so this has motivated WABC’s sponsorship as they appreciate the priority and commitment Geraldo has demonstrated for our organization,” Zebatto describes. “Geraldo as a Jersey-ite, together with prominent Jersey attorney Mark Salah Morgan will help to recognize future expansion of LIFE’S WORC into this state."
