Franklin Memorial Hospital’s 34th annual Health Care Golf Classic is scheduled for Monday, July 11, at the Sugarloaf Golf Club, 5071 West Mountain Road in Carrabassett Valley.
The beneficiaries are the Healthy Community Coalition of Greater Franklin County and the Martha B. Webber Breast Care Center. Both provide health services to people in need.
The event’s featured contest is a four-person scramble and includes a continental breakfast for all players, followed by 18 holes of tournament play, a luncheon, greens fee raffles, an awards ceremony and a silent auction. Prizes will be awarded to top teams in both gross and net, closest-to-the-pin contests, and men and women’s longest drives.
This year’s event also features new perks to players.
“This longstanding tournament has been recognized by past participants as one of the most enjoyable golfing events in Maine,” said Ryan Mastrangelo, tournament chair, according to a news release from the Farmington hospital.
There are a variety of sponsorship opportunities for businesses that wish to participate, including presenting sponsor, snack and beverage sponsors, team sponsors, and hole sponsors.
The Healthy Community Coalition, an affiliate of Franklin Community Health Network, will use proceeds from this tournament to provide access to health screenings, food, transportation, and other basic needs to help improve overall health of the community.
The Martha B. Webber Breast Care Center, a program of Franklin Memorial Hospital, provides timely access to state-of-the-art breast cancer screening, diagnostic, clinical, and care support services.
