“The support for our tournament was outstanding and we are so grateful to everyone who played a part, especially our sponsors and those individuals and companies who donated items,” said Amanda Dow, Director of Community Relations at Cannon.

The proceeds from this year’s tournament will be donated to the hospital to help purchase a new dishwasher at a cost of $32,000. 

The volunteers made a commitment to the hospital to purchase this new piece of equipment and this year’s golf tournament was the biggest fundraiser that will go toward that. 

Golfers at the tournament were treated to breakfast donated by Bojangles, BBQ lunch by The Parkette, and fresh baked desserts donated by The GateHouse. 

1^st place in the tournament was awarded to the Progressive Builder’s team: Henry Bivens, Steve Roach, Stephen Roach and Michael Jordan, who received golf for 4 to The Reserve and each a dozen golf balls donated by TaylorMade.
