CH -F Prepares for 2009 ComuniTEE Golf Benefit Classic

The Community Hospital-Fairfax Development Council is preparing for its biggest fundraiser for the hospital. The CommuniTEE Golf Benefit Classic will be August 28 and 29 at the Rock Port Golf and Country Club.

            This year, the proceeds will help support the orthopedic clinic with new arthroscopic equipment and instruments.

            The tournament is scheduled to begin on Friday morning, August 28. Golfers are invited for lunch on Friday and Saturday, as well as other patrons who are not golfing but would like to take part in the fundraiser. Guests’ lunch tickets for Friday and Saturday are $5.00 and Saturday night dinner is $15.00. There is a social hour planned for 6:30 p.m. on Friday at the course and Saturday night prior to dinner at the Atchison County Memorial Building.

            Teams are encouraged to register early on Thursday evening at the golf course, starting at 5:30 p.m.

            During Saturday night’s activities, winners for the annual grill raffle will be drawn. This year, there is a new opportunity to win exciting prizes. Bucket Ball will make its debut, offering several prizes that winners are able to chose. When you purchase your ticket, you chose the prize you want to be eligible to win. Prizes include a Dell laptop donated by Midwest Data Center, a TiVO DVR system with a year’s service paid, $500 cash courtesy of the hospital’s medical staff, and a one night stay plus golf passes to Riverside Golf Course in Riverside, Iowa. An “extra prize” bucket gives you the chance to win several smaller prizes, like a $100 gift card to Nebraska Furniture Mart or $50 gift certificates to R&L Fresh Country Meats or Black Iron Grill Steakhouse in Rock Port, six Worlds Of Fun Passes or a $100 gift certificate to On-Site Golf Store in St. Joseph. You will be able to purchase tickets for the grill raffle and Bucket Ball at the Fairfax Fair on August 22 and during the golf tournament. Keep your eyes open in your town because Development Council members will be traveling around their communities, giving people the chance to buy tickets in advance.

            Community Hospital-Fairfax welcomes the public to take part in this exciting event and thanks the golfers for participating. Not only does this fundraiser contribute money to the hospital, it also gives its staff and supporters an opportunity to celebrate Northwest Missouri healthcare together.
