Over 140 players enjoyed fine golf and one another’s company on Friday, June 18 in the Fourth Annual SCRMC Golf Classic, which raised the funds to purchase equipment for remodeling the Intensive Care Unit at St. Croix Regional Medical Center.

RiverBank Insurance Center’s John Gauper presented proceeds from the event—a check for $11,300—to St. Croix Regional Medical Center ‘s Vice President of Clinic Services, Cindy Lundmark, and Jim Bodoh, President of the St. Croix Valley Healthcare Foundation.

“We’re extremely pleased with how enthusiastically our communities have embraced the Golf Classic,” said Gauper. “Teams filled up quickly again this year, and we’re confident that this tournament will continue to be a significant area event. The Golf Classic greatly benefits patients throughout the service area of the Medical Center, and we’re pleased to be the sponsor.”

Sandy Williams, SCRMC Director of Development and Marketing, expressed her gratitude on behalf of the Medical Center to Gauper and his staff, who made the event run so smoothly. “We also want to thank the Frederic Country Club and Manager Denise Brenne for their support and outstanding staff and operations,” said Williams. “We also appreciate all the corporate and hole sponsors and team players who contribute to this fundraiser. It is a great day for the Medical Center and for our patients as well as for our golfers.

Sponsored by The Riverbank Insurance Center in partnership with the St. Croix Valley Healthcare Foundation, the Classic offers a morning 9-hole scramble and an afternoon 18-hole tournament.
