Mercy Health Foundation Perry hosted its 32nd Annual Mercy Golf Classic last month, benefiting the Educational Advancement Fund. This year’s tournament was at the Perryville Country Club in Perryville on June 20.
According to Mercy Perry outreach relations manager Glenda Gremaud, the event raised more than $26,000 for the Educational Advancement Fund.
“We are so grateful for our community’s wonderful support over the last 30-plus years,” Gremaud said. “This is one of our favorite annual events, and we’re hoping for an amazing year benefiting our local students training to be the next generation of health care providers.”
Each year, the tournament benefits the foundation’s Educational Advancement Fund, which provides financial support for Mercy caregivers and students in Mineral Area College’s nursing program as well as assistance for local high school seniors pursuing an education in health care.
Individual winners were Individual Contest Winners Kaleb Weibrecht, Male Closest to the Pin; Mark Mattingly, Male Straightest Drive; Jason Lang, Male Longest Putt; Katie Boxdorfer, Female Straightest Drive; and Kristen Armbruster, Female Longest Putt.
