WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - Northern Berkshire Healthcare’s (NBH) 16th Annual Open golf tournament will be held Friday, June 12, at Waubeeka Golf Links in Williamstown. Williamstown Savings Bank, a MountainOne Financial Partner, is underwriting the tournament for a ninth consecutive year.
“Williamstown Savings Bank once again leads the way in showing how generous our local businesses are, and that they know quality health care is essential in our community,” said Bruce Grinnell, chairman of the NBH Development Committee and of the NBH Board of Trustees.
Tournament proceeds will support upgrades to NARH’s ultrasound equipment. The new devices will improve breast imaging capabilities, allowing for better breast biopsies and exams. In addition, the new ultrasound equipment will mesh seamlessly with NARH’s Picture Archive and Communication System (PACS), storing images as they are digitized and making them readily accessible to physicians.
The scramble tournament will begin at noon with a shotgun start. The entry fee of $150 per player or $600 per foursome includes lunch, greens fees and cart, after-golf hearty hors d’oeuvres, and gifts for each player. The field is being capped again this year to ensure speedy play, with a limited number of foursomes still available. Registration forms have been mailed to past players and sponsors; others wishing to enter the tournament may request a brochure by calling the NBH Development Office at (413) 664-5073, e-mailing kfoley@nbhealth.org, or by downloading a form at www.nbhealth.org. Sponsorship opportunities are also available.
Along with Williamstown Savings Bank, other major sponsors for the 2009 NBH Open include Schwartz Hannum PC, SEI Investments, and Alvarez & Marsal.
Members of the NBH Golf Tournament Committee include committee Co-Chairmen Don Keagan and Jeff Polucci, Duffy Judge, Dianne Cutillo, Paul Hopkins, Kristina Foley, and Matthew Storey.
