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.

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.
