On June 1st, The UPMC Horizon Community Health Foundation and UPMC Jameson Health Care Foundation hosted their annual Golf Care Classic at the Avalon at Buhl Country Club. More than 120 golfers on 31 teams participated in the sold-out event, which netted more than $100,000 for the Foundations’ programs and initiatives. Golfers enjoyed beautiful, sunny weather as they took to the course, and more than 30 volunteers from UPMC Horizon and UPMC Jameson helped staff the event.
The winners of this year’s Classic were the foursome from Joseph’s Marketplace, made up of Bill Presnar, Joey Presnar, Hunter Turk and Walt DeMase. The team from UPMC Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, made up of Dr. Rob Woods, Curt Anderson, Robbie Woods and Charlie Woods took second place, and the team from Cintas, including Eric Myers, Eric Rodgers, Jim Shipley and Josh Slear came in third.
As in previous years, the top three teams were invited to allocate a portion of the outing’s proceeds to their choice of specific programs at the Foundations. The team from Joseph’s Marketplace allocated $7,500 to the Foundations’ Transportation Fund, while the team from UPMC Northwest’s Orthopedic Sports Medicine allocated $5,000 to the Foundations’ Children’s Fund and the team from Cintas allocated $2,500 to the Foundations’ Patient Experience Cancer Care Fund.
The outing was supported by the Foundations’ Golf Committee, including Adam Shrawder, Bryan Williams, Dave Patton, Doug Arena, Jordan Henry, Kelly Haux, Kevin MacDonald, Natalie Zgurich, Phil Rozic, Rebekah Kennedy, and Scott Graubard.
The Foundations offer their sincere thanks to all of this year’s sponsors and participants for helping generate such impactful support for the Foundations’ work.
