MONROE — The Monroe Clinic & Hospital Foundation held its 16th annual golf outing on August 3 at the Monroe Golf Club. Participation included a turnout of 150 golfers and 190 guests for dinner under the tent, generating over $93,000 in support of local healthcare.
After dinner, guest auctioneer, Zeke Garthwaite, led guests in the live auction. Of the 12 items, the highest bid item was a quarter beef package donated by Plum River Ranch — Eric and Rosie Katzenberger and family. Other popular packages were a 3-night stay at Northern Bay Resort on Castle Rock Lake, a guided “pheasant”ry hunt, and a wine tasting with appetizers in your home.
The foundation thanked its ace sponsor, CG Schmidt, for its third-time sponsorship at the $10,000 level. Special recognition also went to Ruda Toyota and Monroe Radio Shack/US Cellular as hole-in-one sponsors.
“To have all of our friends back together this year to honor the courageous work of our healthcare heroes was incredibly special,” said Jane Sybers, Monroe Clinic Foundation Director. “We are continuously humbled by the support our communities give to Monroe Clinic, and this year was no exception.”
