The American Heart Association celebrates Michael Kirshbaum returning for the second year as chair of the 40th annual Greater Washington Region Golf Tournament, happening on September 22, 2025.
Kirshbaum serves as the chief financial officer of EAB, an education research, technology, and services company and previously served as CFO of The Advisory Board Company, a healthcare and higher education technology, research and consulting firm. As chair, Kirshbaum will lead fundraising efforts to support the Association’s mission to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives.
“I’m thrilled to support the Greater Washington Region Golf Tournament in its 40th year, as we make strides for community health across the region,” said Kirshbaum. “Great things happen on the golf course, from heart-pumping fun to awareness and fundraising for the American Heart Association’s lifesaving mission. I hope you’ll join me at this special event.”
The tournament is a captain’s choice scramble happening at the Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, MD, a site recognized for its prestigious courses and elite golf events. Participants will enjoy 18 holes of golf, exciting challenges, breakfast, a post-event awards dinner and more – all while participating in a sport that research shows can lower stress and improve physical health.
The Golf Tournament is made possible thanks to the support of our local sponsors Coforma, Rich Sawchak, Earle Layman, Blake Real Estate, Capitol Petroleum Group, Michael Kirshbaum, Systems Planning and Analysis, Werther & Mills, Michael Preston, Robert Lutz, KLNB, Crescent Cities Charities, Marsh McLennan Agency, Wiley Rein, Take2 and Perfect Serve.
This event is part of the Heart of Greater Washington campaign, a year-round effort that unites individuals and companies across the DC metro area to raise lifesaving funds that fuel innovations in cardiovascular science, and advance health and hope for all. The campaign drives awareness of heart disease and stroke prevention and supports health equity programming with a focus on nutrition security, CPR education, hypertension control and more. The golf tournament and Greater Washington Heart Ball are the signature fundraising events associated with the campaign.
