Giving Patients a Dash of Hope: The First Spicer Group Charity Golf Classic

n September, our community came together for an extraordinary event that blended passion, perseverance, and purpose: the Spicer Group Charity Golf Classic. We are deeply grateful to everyone who participated, supported, and made this inaugural tournament a resounding success. Together, you helped raise an impressive $61,000 to support oncology services, a remarkable achievement that reflects the power of collective generosity.

This exciting new event brought together golf enthusiasts and compassionate supporters for a day filled with camaraderie, competition, and heartfelt connections. Held at the beautiful Rockwood Golf Course, the tournament wasn't just about golf—it was about making a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by cancer. The day was filled with enthusiasm, laughter, and a shared commitment to a greater cause.

On to the next hole! Golfers are teeing off to support local cancer patients.

A Personal Journey as Inspiration

One story that particularly touched our hearts is that of Joanna Carson Skead, whose story is featured in our Holiday Newsletter. Joanna, a grateful patient who received exceptional care at our hospital, shared her journey with cancer—a journey marked by resilience, hope, and healing. Her story resonated deeply, especially since her husband has a close connection to Rockwood Golf Course. Hearing about Joanna’s experience reminded us all why we were there: to ensure that patients like her continue to receive the innovative treatments and compassionate care they need.

The $61,000 raised from this tournament will directly support oncology services, funding innovative treatments and enhancing patient comfort. These contributions are more than just numbers; they represent life-changing resources for patients and families navigating the difficult journey of cancer treatment. Your generosity helps us provide state-of-the-art care, comfort measures, and hope to those who need it most.

A Heartfelt Thank You

We extend our sincerest gratitude to everyone who participated, sponsored, and supported this incredible cause. Whether you played a round, volunteered, or donated, your contribution made a significant impact. Your generosity is more than financial support—it’s a huge dash of hope for oncology patients and their loved ones.

Thank you for being part of this inspiring journey. Together, we are driving hope and healing forward.

As we reflect on the success of the Spicer Group Charity Golf Classic, we are reminded of the strength of our community and the profound difference we can make together. Here's to more moments of joy, solidarity, and giving in the years to come!
