Final Year of Washington Health Golf Tournament

On Monday, May 12, friends and supporters of Washington Heath will gather for a final farewell at the 38^th Annual Golf and Bocce Tournament, a tradition that has raised over $4 million in support of health care services for the residents of Washington Township Health Care District.

For decades, the Washington Health Foundation Golf Tournament has brought our community together, creating lasting memories while making a meaningful impact on Washington Health patients. After much consideration, the Washington Health Foundation Board has decided that this will be the final year of tournament play.

Since 1985, golfers of all abilities have enjoyed a day at The Club at Castlewood, a members-only golf course offering spectacular views of the green hills in Pleasanton. Foundation President Cathy Avon notes, “Over the past four decades, community members have played in the tournament, enjoying a great day of golf among colleagues and friends of the hospital. Bocce was added two years ago so everyone has an opportunity to help the Foundation raise funds for health care programs and services at Washington Health. We hope community members will join us for this fond farewell as we gather to share our gratitude to those volunteers and sponsors who have helped make this tournament a success.” Proceeds will help meet the rising patient demand for critical and lifesaving surgical procedures by funding state-of-the-art surgical equipment and technology for Washington Health’s Trauma Center and operating rooms.

Nongolfers who want to support Washington Health are invited to enjoy Castlewood’s beautiful bocce courts for an afternoon of fun. Individual players, or groups, can sip cocktails on the court and participate in the post-tournament reception.

The tournament will be held on the prestigious Hill Course at The Club at Castlewood for a limited number of golfers. Each entry includes green fees; golf cart; BBQ lunch; course beverages and game; and post-tournament cocktail reception. Golfers are registered on a first-paid basis and the course is limited to 120 total golfers.
