On May 4, 81 golfers and sponsors raised over $30,000 for the UNC Health Southeastern Foundation’s 32nd annual Swing for Good Health Golf Tournament held at Pinecrest Country Club Golf Course near Lumberton, NC. It was a beautiful day with 20 teams competing for cash prizes, special hole prizes, and one hole-in-one opportunity.
UNC Health Southeastern Foundation’s annual golf tournament provides financial assistance through the Horace E. Stacy, Jr., Academic Scholarship Endowment for medical, nursing, and allied health students in Robeson County and the surrounding region who are committed to serving our community in a health care career. Mr. Stacy was a dedicated volunteer, past Foundation board chair and was instrumental in helping create the academic scholarship endowment to provide opportunities for local students to gain knowledge and learn skills that will help serve our community.
“Congratulations to our winners and our sincerest gratitude to our sponsors and supporters,” said UNC Health Southeastern Foundation Executive Director Sissy Grantham. “This tournament and many scholarships would not be possible without the local businesses and individuals participating as sponsors, prize donors, golfers and volunteers, understanding the value of those who have chosen to study medicine, nursing or allied health and who plan to return to our community to practice.”
