Chip in Fore Hospice Golf Tournament a Huge Success
COBLESKILL—Helios Care’s Chip in Fore Hospice Golf Tournament teed off Wednesday, September 9 at the Cobleskill Golf and Country Club. Despite the early rain, the tournament had a wonderful turnout and the players enjoyed the challenge, organizers said.
The Chip in Fore Hospice Tournament is one of Helios Care’s annual fundraisers that raises unrestricted funds for patients and their families’ needed services. This year, the tournament was held at the Cobleskill Golf and Country Club and catered by the D&H 1929 Grill at the course, representing Schoharie County as one of the three counties in Helios Care’s service area.
“Thank you to all of our sponsors and donors who made the day great, including Bassett Healthcare Network as our exclusive tournament sponsor and New York Central Mutual Insurance as our course sponsor,” said Helios Care President and Chief Executive Officer Dan Ayres.
Next year’s Chip in Fore Hospice Tournament will be held at the Oneonta Country Club on September 11, 2024. The tournament is a great opportunity for networking and team development, while supporting Helios Care, the hospice and palliative care organization for Otsego, Delaware, and Schoharie counties, organizers said.
“Thank you to all of our teams and players who braved the rain; your support directly benefits our patients and the services provided to ensure compassion, comfort, and dignity,” Ayres added.
