Based in New York City, Norman (Norm) Gretzinger leads as managing director of EG Capital, a private equity firm that he cofounded in 2003.

In Elmira, New York, one parent of a child with Type 1 diabetes has been coordinating an awareness and fund-raising event, called the JDRF Hockey Tournament, for 12 years. The 2016 tournament took place in April and raised more than $10,000 in support of the JDRF’s efforts to find a cure for juvenile diabetes. Held at Elmira’s First Arena, the 2016 JDRF Hockey Tournament featured six hockey teams in an afternoon of friendly competition and fund-raising.
The event’s founder, Hank Kimball, notes that since establishing the JDRF Hockey Tournament, the technology children with Type 1 diabetes rely on to manage their conditions has significantly advanced, leading to health and quality-of-life improvements. He explains that fund-raising for JDRF has supported the development of new technologies, such as iPhone-based sensors, which allow parents to test a child’s blood sugar levels through a mobile application instead of drawing blood.
