Houston, MO— Plans are underway for the fifteen annual Texas County Memorial Hospital Healthcare Foundation Charitable Golf Tournament at Houston Municipal Golf Course in Houston on Saturday, June 12th.
The tournament is a two-person scramble, and a team can play for $120, which includes a cart, green fees, mulligans, and lunch. Tee times are at 8 a.m. and 1 p.m., and the tournament is limited to 40 teams.
The corporate event underwriter West Plains Bank and Trust Company, Houston Loan Production Office, along with support from many other businesses, will significantly boost the Foundation’s ability to host an exceptional tournament for the participants.
Prizes will be awarded in four flights with three places in each flight. The number of entrants in the tournament will determine prizes and flights.
There will be many prizes awarded, including a hole-in-one prize of $10,000 sponsored by Justin Shelby with State Farm Insurance and prizes for the longest drive and closest to the pin. Entrants will also be eligible for door prizes.
The TCMH Healthcare Foundation is a non-profit organization with a mission to ensure the quality of healthcare services for children, women, and men at TCMH.
“The TCMH Healthcare Foundation golf tournament enables us to raise the necessary funds for our local scholarship program, and provides essential resources for capital projects,” Jeff Gettys, TCMH Healthcare Foundation director, stated.
The Foundation plans to award nine $1,000 scholarships during the school year—two in the spring and seven in the fall. The scholarships are awarded to students in the TCMH service area pursuing additional education in the healthcare field.
Since 2006, the Healthcare Foundation has awarded over $119,000 in scholarship funds to local healthcare students overall.
The Foundation is already accepting applications for seven $1,000 Foundation administered scholarships that will be awarded for the fall academic semester.
Gettys noted that although tee times and sponsorships are filling up quickly, there is still time to be a part of this extraordinary event.
