North Myrtle Beach Times Serving our Community and the Grand Strand for over 50 years
The McLeod Health Foundation benefiting McLeod Loris Seacoast raised over $50,000 at the McLeod Health Cancer Benefit Golf Classic presented by MagMutual. This two day golf event was held on Friday, Nov. 8, and Saturday, Nov. 9, at the Dye Club at Barefoot Resort & Golf in North Myrtle Beach. Proceeds from the tournament will benefit the cancer patients at McLeod Seacoast through the HOPE Fund (Helping Oncology Patients Everyday).
The HOPE Fund was established for cancer patient support services and to provide the oncology staff with the improved access for the immediate assistance for their patients. The HOPE Fund assists patients who have financial barriers to care. Without this fund, McLeod Seacoast would not be able to offer patients transportation to treatments, assistance with pain and nausea medications and specialized nutrition. It also supports volunteer programs and educational resources for cancer patients and families.
“The generous donations from this event allow the McLeod Health Foundation to continue to provide the resources needed to benefit our cancer patients,” said Christina Jackson, director of McLeod Health Foundation.
The Friday evening “After Play ParTee” at the Dye Clubhouse included a gourmet strolling dinner, silent auction and live music. Players received awards at a luncheon on Saturday after the tournament.
The first place team winners included Josh Bryant, Bryan Lenertz, Jim Hanley and Kraig Thornton.
