Big smiles and good times characterized the Fry Healthcare Foundation’s 7th Annual Golf Tournament last Friday, June 12.
Fifty-four players, one moose calf, and several families of geese worked their way around 18-holes of golf at Mirror Lake Golf Course. The funds raised at the Golf Tournament will go toward the purchase of a portable ultrasound for the emergency room at Boundary Community Hospital.
Sponsors for the Golf Tournament are Rick and Janice Lozoya, Kootenai Health, Yellowstone Insurance Exchange, Idaho Forest Group, Gardiner Prime Angus Beef, Potlatch Credit Union, Pace-Kerby & Co. Inc., Columbia Bank, Kootenai River Inn, and Riverside Auto Center.
Prizes, cash, and other items were donated by Community Title Company, Harvest Foods, Edward Jones, Safeway, Auburn Crest Hospice, Festival of Sandpoint, Sugar Plum Floral, Boardwalk Boutique, Picturesque, StoneRidge Golf Community, Twin Lakes Village, Silverwood Theme Park, Larson’s Clothing, and Henry-Griffitts.
A fun wrinkle this year: Anyone making a hole-in-one at Hole #8 would win a Yamaha Side by Side 4-Wheeler valued at $14,000 and donated by Boundary Tractor. One drive on Hole #8 by Boundary Community Hospital Administrator Craig Johnson came close, but, unfortunately, nobody made the winning hole-in-one.
Tournament Winners this year are Travis Hinthorn and Steve Nelson, First Flight; Dick and Mike Villeli, Second Flight; and Linda Hiatt and Karen English, Third Flight.
The Golf Ball Drop, with a total of 375 balls purchased, was a crowd-pleaser. LifeFlight Network, a medical transport company, donated a Visio 55-inch Smart TV as the prize for the golf ball that rolled into, or came closest to, Hole #9. Lana Herzinger is this year’s lucky winner, and took home the television.
Fry Healthcare Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 with an elected Board of Directors whose purpose is to raise funds for equipment for Boundary Community Hospital. The benefits to the community are huge as new state-of-the art medical equipment and enhancements to the hospital campus continue to be funded. Over one million dollars has been raised in its 20-year history. Donations are always accepted and always well-spent.
Plan now to participate in next year’s Golf Tournament on Friday, June 10, 2016. The Tournament is open to all. For more information about Fry Healthcare Foundation call (208) 267-6912.
