Children Shine at New York Rangers' Garden of Dreams



Attorney Marc Rovner of East Rockaway, New York, possesses more than three decades of legal experience and serves as general counsel and director of business development at BETA Abstact, LLC, a multimillion-dollar title insurance company with offices in several states. In addition to being a fan of the National Hockey League's (NHL) New York Rangers, attorney Marc Rovner is a supporter of the Garden of Dreams Foundation.

The foundation has impacted more than 350,000 children over the past decade with assistance from partner organizations such as Children's Aid, Encourage Kids Foundation, and multiple Make-A-Wish chapters.

The New York Rangers play a vital role in helping these children realize their dreams through its annual Garden of Dreams celebration. The 2019 event took place on December 16 during the Rangers game against the Nashville Predators. Make-A-Wish recipient Gianna Henrickson, who is confined to a wheelchair, attended her first Rangers game and dropped the ceremonial puck to start the game.

Moreover, the national anthem was sung by the sister of Garden of Dreams participant Rachel Mason, who has undergone 17 surgical procedures in the past nine years. Logan Riman, who is blind, played the keyboard. Other Garden of Dreams participants stood alongside Rangers players during the national anthem.

Nearly 50 Years of New York Rangers Fandom


The recipient of a 2018 Client Champion Silver Award from Martindale-Hubbell, Marc Rovner is an East Rockaway, New York-based attorney who serves as director of business development with BETA Abstract. When not working, Marc Rovner enjoys attending New York Rangers games; as a season ticket holder, his connection with the team was profiled in a recent Madison Square Garden Company blog post.

Rovner's father became a Rangers season ticket holder nearly 50 years ago, and the East Rockaway attorney has continued the family tradition: he and his family can be found in section 113 at every home game. That section has become something of a second family, as Rovner and his four children have formed lifelong friendships with some of the individuals sitting nearby. They have even taken road trips with one of the other families in the section.

Rovner vividly remembers his first time attending a game at Madison Square Garden. It was February 8, 1970, and the Rangers scored a 5-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings. His dad's favorite player, Eddie Giacomin, was the goaltender that night, and Donnie Marshall scored the first goal. His first memory of the Rangers is just as special as subsequent memories, like Pete Stemkowski's triple-overtime playoff goal in 1971, the Rangers' 1979 playoff victory over the rival New York Islanders, and the 1994 Stanley Cup run.

Overview of Title Insurance in Real Estate


A senior staff attorney at BETA Abstract LLC, Marc Rovner is a longtime resident of East Rockaway, New York, home of his beloved ice hockey team the New York Rangers. In addition to overseeing BETA’s business development in New York, New Jersey, and Florida, Marc Rovner of East Rockaway has taught a course on title insurance at Hofstra University.

In real estate, title insurance protects both the owner and any lenders against financial loss due to any faults in the title to a property. Unlike traditional insurance, which protects against future claims, title insurance covers claims for past errors and occurrences, including forgery, unpaid mortgages and taxes, omitted heirs, and limitations on the use of the property. Property owners and outright purchasers of property may elect to obtain a title insurance policy. However, property buyers who borrow money to make the purchase are required to secure title insurance to protect the lender from potential liability in case the seller fails to transfer the ownership rights. Title insurance requires a one-time payment, which is generally initiated in escrow after a purchase agreement has been completed.
