Springfield Medical Care Systems and Springfield Hospital are hosting their annual fundraiser, Springfield Hospital Golf Challenge, on Thursday, September 19th.  A perennial favorite, this tournament offers participants an afternoon of fun and friendly competition at the prestigious Okemo Valley Golf Club in Ludlow, Vermont.

A and B flights ensure that all golfers compete at their own level — and increase the number of winning teams.  Gift certificates to Okemo’s pro shop are awarded to more than 1 out of every 4 golfers in the tournament.

There are hole-in-one prizes on all par 3 holes, including a new vehicle and $10,000 cash. Participants can compete for the longest putt and straightest drive.  Raffles make sure that everyone goes home a winner.

In addition to the amenities of this beautiful golf course, golfers in this premier tournament receive a box lunch at registration, a post-event buffet and a special participation gift.

A four-player scramble, the Springfield Hospital Challenge registration begins at 11:30 am, with a shotgun start at 12:30 pm on Thursday, September 19. Players can enter as a team or as individuals. The entry fee for this fundraiser is $150 per person.

For sponsors, the event offers an opportunity to help raise funds for the important services of Springfield Hospital, while also providing valuable exposure.  Sponsorship packages range in size and value. Proceeds from this year’s tournament will be used to support the critical services provided by Springfield Hospital.
