Jamestown (CSi) The JRMC Foundation continues support for expansion of patient care through summer community events. The 6th Annual GOLF “fore” GOOD Tournament will be held on Friday, July 15, 2016 beginning at 12:30, at Jamestown Country Club.
Marlene Axtman, a JRMC Foundation Board Chair Member, Auxilian, volunteer and survivor says, “When I was going through cancer treatments, I had to travel to Bismarck.” It is her wish and the number one priority at JRMC to provide local, quality cancer care for our community. This year over 250 people in the circle hear the words, “you have cancer.” These words are only the beginning of what can be a very complicated journey.
Last year,the community made the difference. Along with a Farmers Union challenge grant, this tournament and the community provided critical funding to secure a commitment from an oncologist and outfit existing space in JRMC Clinic and Pharmacy with the necessary tools for this type of care.
Now, JRMC begins the next phase of the Journey to Oncology campaign: dedicated space and resources for patients on their journey.
The 6th Annual GOLF “fore” GOOD tournament provides funding for the Journey to Oncology. The tournament will be held at the Jamestown Country Club. This event is co-sponsored by The Davis Group and Physicians Realty Trust. Major sponsors committed to this years’ tournament include Wilhelm GMC Buick, Hillerud Construction, Great River Energy, Edward Jones Investments – Patrick Nygaard, Sanford Health, and Layered Salon. Proceeds will be in dedication to those conquering cancer for the launch of the oncology unit at JRMC.
Registration per player is $100 and includes 18-hole golf scramble, cart, meals, drink tickets, chances to win prizes, and a swag bag (valued at $100). The Hole-in-One is presented by Don Wilhelm GMC Buick. Deadline for registration is July 13th.
