On Monday, May 14^th, East Jefferson General Hospital physicians, staff, donors, board members, local business leaders, and friends of EJGH came together on a sunny day to participate in The Foundation at EJGH's 10^th Annual Golf Classic. Held at the Chateau Golf and Country Club, this year’s tournament allows the Foundation to invest over $52,000 in the expansion of the EJGH Outpatient Oncology Infusion Center.

Led by Platinum Sponsors Cerner and Humana, 33 sponsor teams enjoyed friendly competition and a shot at winning a brand new car, thanks to Hole-In-One Sponsor Peake BMW. Rounding out the day’s festivities was an awards ceremony and cocktail reception with a live auction featuring a trip to Pinehurst, NC to compete in the National BMW Golf Cup as well participation in The EJGH Fitness Principle Golf Academy.

“We are extremely thankful for our sponsors, volunteers and participants who have made this event so successful again this year,” said Annual Golf Classic Chair Bob Mathis. “Because of the support we received for our golf tournament, patient care will be enhanced and above all, more lives will be saved. We thank our partners for joining with us in our mission to provide the highest quality, compassionate care to the patients and community we serve.”
