Hospital Foundation golf tourney set for September 6

It’s year 22 for the annual North Big Horn Hospital Foundation Friends of the Foundation Golf Tournament scheduled for next week at the Foster Gulch Golf Course near Lovell.

The annual North Big Horn Hospital District fundraising tournament will take place Saturday, Sept. 6, sponsored by the Hospital Foundation.

There are 20 teams signed up for the 18-hole, four-person scramble, Foundation Director Payton Gambill said. Check-in is at 8:30 a.m., with a shotgun start at 9 a.m.

All proceeds from the tournament – team, hole and flag sponsorships – will benefit the hospice room project in the hospital and support the launch of a new patient assistance fund, Gambill said.

“We’re thrilled to bring the community together for this year’s NBHH Foundation Golf Tournament,” Gambill said. “We’re looking forward to a fun day on the course. The excitement from our teams, sponsors and volunteers really shows how much our community values this event.”
