The
event, now in its 27th year, brings together board members,
Indianapolis-area civic and business leaders, and Franciscan St. Francis
physicians and staff for a full day of golf, fellowship and fun with the goal
of raising funds for various foundation projects.
The
outing gets under way with a nine-hole scramble at 9 a.m., Wednesday, June 26.
Golfers opting for 18 holes of play will tee it up at 1 p.m. Participants also will be offered breakfast, and
luncheon. An awards dinner will be held at 6 p.m.
Throughout
the day, various products and services – generously donated by local
individuals and businesses – will be auctioned.
Each
player/team fee includes a charitable contribution to the St. Francis Hospice House campaign that will
be matched, thanks to a grant challenge issued by Franciscan Alliance.
The hospice would be the only
facility of its kind in south-central Indiana and will serve many surrounding
counties. Its features include:
- 16-suite
facility with room for expansion to 24 suites
- Bright
gathering areas, kitchen and dining areas
- Garden-like
landscaping and a chapel for meditation and worship
- Unlimited
visitation from loved ones and family members, including the family pet
