‘Playing for Fundsies’ Golf Tournament raises funds for new Libby hospital
by St. John’s Lutheran Hospital
August 23, 2010
LIBBY - Even with the eminent rain and a wet playing field, golfers showed up in full force for the 18th Annual St. John’s Lutheran Hospital Foundation’s Playing For Fundsies Golf Tournament held at Cabinet View Country Club on Saturday, July 31, 2010. Once again, the tournament raised nearly $26,000 for the New Hospital Building Project.
"Since the country club was under construction this year, we held a 9-hole tournament. The foundation board decided to play off of the on-going construction, so this years’ theme was Fundsies "under construction," commented KC Hoyer, Executive Director of the SJLH Foundation. "It was a great theme, and we had a several players show up in their construction garb with hard hats and tool belts to boot."
One hundred and four golfers spent most of the day enjoying a variety of fun activities on and off the course. After the tournament, golfers enjoyed an awards luncheon and ceremony at the Libby Elks Club.
The 2010 tournament winners were Team First Montana Bank—Jackson Garrison, Wayne Haines, Deb Bertelson, and Keven Bertelson. Taking second was Team Tungsten Holdings—Jay Dinning, Rick Dinning, Stan Pruitt, and Dillon Hill. Third place went to Team Johnson Control/Lincoln County Radiology—John Miller, Jim Germany, Dr. Steve Becker, and Keith Howard.
Other winners at the event where Dr. William Highfill, men’s long drive; Ruth Fenn, women’s long drive; Steve McNally, men’s long putt; and Faye Schocknecht, women’s long putt. Dan Dedman and Faye Schoknecht took home men’s and women’s closest to the pin awards.
For the 2nd year in a row, Team North West Community Health Center took the coveted best-decorated cart award for their construction cart topped with a giant hard hat. And the always exciting best dressed awards went to Leo Beck and Darby Whitmarsh. Taking home a new award this year for the Best St. John’s Spirit was Dean and Lyn Thompson and Tony and Amy Fantozzi for their original Bob the Builder SJLH New Hospital T-Shirts.
"The enthusiasm and creativity of the players at Fundsies never ceases to amaze me," added Hoyer. "These folks aren’t in this tournament to win big prizes. They are here to support their community hospital, and have some fun doing it. Every year they show their appreciation for local quality healthcare by supporting this event, and every year they continue to raise the bar. We’re looking forward to entertaining them again in 2011 when we return to an 18-hole tournament."
