Manhattan, NY Jerry Swartz, the founder and partner at HKS Capital Partners, received the “Legends Award” from the Kidney & Urology Foundation Inc., at their annual “Winning Spirit” gala last month held at the Essex House.

 “Jerry Swartz has been a consistent, loyal contributor to KUFA over many years,” said Sam Giarrusso, president of the Kidney & Urology Foundation Inc.

Giarrusso, who also heads the commercial lending team at BankUnited in New York City, said, “I’ve known Jerry a long time and have been involved with many transactions he had fostered. Each year, KUFA names a legend in the CRE field, and the combination of his loyal support of KUFA and his long standing success in NYC CRE facilitated his selection.”

 Swartz, who founded the New York City-based financial advisory firm HKS CAPITAL Partners in 2011, was honored to accept the award from Giarrusso.

  “This organization does so much to advocate and help raise awareness for those whose lives are touched by illnesses and disease,” said Swartz. ”I urge others to get involved and be a part of something larger than oneself.”
