(PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL) Committee members for the Hanley Center 2014 Golf Classic met recently at the Old Marsh Golf Club to finalize plans for their upcoming event. For the first time, the annual Classic will be held on the prestigious Palm Beach Gardens course on Monday, March 31. The day’s events will include an 18-hole tournament, awards ceremony, luncheon and silent auction – all to benefit Hanley Center’s Lifesaver Patient Aid Fund.
Part of the Caron Treatment Centers Network, Hanley Center is a nonprofit residential substance abuse treatment center established by the Hanley family as a community resource nearly 30 years ago. The Lifesaver Patient Aid Fund provides scholarship assistance to support people who want help, but need financial assistance.
“About 40 percent of Hanley patients receive some financial assistance and over the years, hundreds of people have received treatment thanks to this special fund,” said Dr. Rachel Docekal, Hanley Center Foundation CEO. “Participation in the Golf Classic helps to bring hope into our patients’ lives and the lives of their families.”
Led by chairmen Gary Harris, Suzanne Holmes and Maria Marino, along with junior chairman Jason Schweriner, the 2014 Golf Classic committee includes Jack Barrett, Dorothy Bradshaw, Lena Braswell, Mike Gauger, Linda and Mike Hanley, Marti LaTour, Tom McNicholas, Val Perez, Chandler Pettit, Dan Thomas, Mike Tommeraas, Patti Travis and Dr. Jean Wihbey.
The day begins with a 7:30 a.m. registration and breakfast and continues with an exciting 8:30 a.m. shotgun start. Golfers will be rewarded for their early start with a goody bag packed with a golf shirt, golf balls and other items. Course contests include prizes for closest to the pin, straightest drive, and a hole-in-one opportunity to win a new BMW! Golfers will then enjoy a 1:00 p.m. awards luncheon featuring crystal trophies and gift certificates for the top three winning foursomes.
Sponsors for the event include Braman Motorcars; Hanley Family Foundation; The Harris Land Company; Hedrick Brothers Construction; PNC Wealth Management; Weiner, Lynne & Thompson, P.A.; Bloomingdale’s Palm Beach Gardens; and Southern Wine & Spirits.
