Prince Frederick, MD – On May 15, the CalvertHealth Foundation held its 34th annual Benefit Golf Classic at The Cannon Club in Lothian, presented by CDI, City National Bank, and L2 Construction Management Corporation. The event was a tremendous success, attracting over 175 participants, including golfers, volunteers, and Grapes on the Green attendees. This year’s tournament showcased the community’s commitment to cancer care at CalvertHealth and set a new record by raising over $116,000.
The funds raised from the tournament will play a pivotal role in advancing cancer care at CalvertHealth. Specifically, they will support the development of a robotic surgery program and strengthen the hospital’s affiliation with Duke Health. Duke Health, a renowned national leader in cancer care, provides local patients with access to clinical trials and cutting-edge research. Over the years, the Golf Benefit Classic has raised more than $2 million, enabling the acquisition of patient care equipment and essential hospital services at CalvertHealth Medical Center.
