THE FUNDRAISERS presented by McCutcheon Insurance. We are profiling the Lennox and Addington County General Hospital Foundation’s annual golf tournament.
As one of the longest running golf tournaments in the area, lot’s of funds have been raised to support the hospital and keep health care close to home.
LACGHF program coordinator Amanda Chalk tells us the first year of the tournament saw a couple of gentlemen spearhead the tournament, as they thought it would be a great way of supporting the hospital.
The tournament has been held at the Napanee Golf and Country Club since day one, where Chalk says the staff have been wonderful in helping them with this fundraiser.
Over the last 25 years, over $800,000 has been raised. These funds have gone towards medical equipment and capital improvements within the hospital.
This years tournament, the 26th annual, is already 50% sold out. It will take place August 2nd with two shot gun starts, either at 8am or 1pm.
