CMH Foundation raises nearly $37,000
NORWICH – Nearly 30 teams participated in Chenango Memorial Hospital Foundation’s 18th annual golf tournament and picnic, held May 29, at the Canasawacta Country Club and helped raise almost $37,000. The funds will go towards UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital activities.
The private and corporate teams all participated in the day long tournament and picnic that catered to both serious competitors and the casual golfer. Contests like longest drive and closest to the pin were held as well. The four player teams all competed in the 18 hole contest.
The winning team from CZ-USA of Bill Hoosock, Jordan Price, Matt Johnson, and Paul Brunick, shot a 58 to win in a scorecard playoff.
Hole #2 hosted closest to the pin with the winners Virginia Lee and Keith Reynolds. While the longest drive contest was on Hole #6 with Kelley McCarthy and Bill Cole winning the top prize. Most Spirited went to Electron Coil’s team of Matt McAveigh, Scott Nichols, Pat Golliver, and Bob Tefft.
Complements of UHS, a special drawing for a spot in the Dick’s Pro Am was held. Joe Mooney won the prize and will golf with the pros at the Dick Sporting Goods Open this August.
The golf cannon, one of the highlights of the tournament, made another appearance this year. It was positioned on Hole #3 and made sure that shots landed on the green. The cannon was designed and built by community relations director Garry Root. Root made many improvements this year to ensure that the shots travelled further than last year. “It started as an attempt to raise a little more money,” said Root who co-chairs the tournament with Ron Martin. “We let golfers hit their ball and if they chose to, donate an additional $10 to fire their ball out of the cannon; which was shooting about 1,000 feet.” Root also said that the cannon is unique to the foundation and isn’t used anywhere else.
Debbie Cassavaugh, the Executive Director of the CMH Foundation wanted to thank everybody who took the time to come out and donate to the Foundation. “We really appreciate all the community members and businesses that supported the tournament and made it a success,” said Cassavaugh in a press release. This is the Foundation’s largest event, donating almost $20,000 annually. “The Canasawacta Country Club does a great job,” said Root. “They’re always great with the food and anything else we need.” Root went on to say that during the day there are raffles and door prizes that help keep the day entertaining.
Every year the CMH Foundation gives a donation to the hospital with the money made from different events throughout the year. “Last year we gave almost $90,000,” said Root. “It was our largest donation yet.” The money donated goes directly to UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital and helps will many different activities throughout the hospital.
Cassavaugh also wanted to take time to thank her major sponsors, Crothall Healthcare, Inc., & Morrison Management Specialists, NBT Bank, NA, Preferred Mutual Insurance Company, Bates Troy, Chianis & Anderson Architects, NBT-Mang Insurance Agency, UHS, Louis N. Picciano & Sons, Inc., and The Canasawacta Country Club.
