Well Wishers Hold Fundraiser For Attack Victim John Szarszewski

On Friday, Aug. 1, the iBar in PGA National was open to a “Superman” themed fundraiser for John Szarszewski, a trainer at Hard Exercise Works Wellington who was the victim of a violent attack last month.

A silent auction, as well as proceeds from the bar and reserved tables, will go toward Szarszewski’s extensive medical bills. The place was crowded with friends and family, all excited to say hello, give a hug, and offer words of encouragement to “Superman John,” who attended for about an hour.

Dr. Max Cohen and his wife, Jenn Cohen, owners of MaxHealth Chiropractic in Wellington, presented Szarszewski with a check from the fundraiser held in their office on Tuesday, July 22.

“John was in good spirits, and looked as handsome as ever. It was amazing to see all the love and support for a great guy,” Cohen said. “John is such a positive influence in our community. It was our pleasure to help raise funds for him, and we hope this might inspire other local businesses to help contribute.”
