Our Hospice of South Central Indiana has announced plans for the 29th Annual Our Hospice Decatur Golf Tournament to raise funds for bereavement care, outpatient palliative care, and hospice care.
The event is scheduled to take place on Friday, June 16, at the Greensburg Country Club. Last year, the tournament raised $33,000, and organizers hope to exceed that amount.
“The funds raised during the tournament will be used to provide compassionate and professional hospice care to patients and families, outpatient palliative care at the clinic in Columbus, and bereavement care for children and adults,” said Our Hospice President Steph Cain. “We are encouraging individuals and organizations to support us by making donations or registering a team online at care.ourhospice.org/golf.”
Check-in for the tournament will begin at 10 a.m., followed by a shotgun start at 11. The entry fee is $100 per person or $400 per team, which includes green fees, a golf cart and a sack lunch. Interested individuals can call Mark Wickens at 812-614-1985, Jim Wenning at 812-593-0940, Julie Davis at 812-371-7973, or Tabitha Saltzman at 812-662-3192 for more information or to register. The rain date is July 14.
Tournament organizer and Events Manager, Julie Davis said, “Participants are invited to donate in memory of a loved one … honor a caregiver, or register their foursome for the tournament now. We look forward to some great golf and hope for a beautiful day.”
Davis said, “We appreciate the help of the Decatur Community Relations Committee consisting of Rob Eversole, David McCullough, Brian Wenning, Jim Wenning, and Mark Wickens who are invaluable in helping us hold this tournament. We know that together, we can make a significant impact on the lives of patients and families, and are looking forward to seeing many familiar and new faces on the golf course to help support our mission to make every moment count.”
