Evangelical Invites Golfers and Sponsors to Take Part in 36th Annual Golf Classic

Evangelical Community Hospital will host its 36th Annual Golf Classic on Friday, August 5, 2022, at the Susquehanna Valley Country Club, Selinsgrove. The scramble format event has morning and afternoon shotgun starts available at 8 am and 1:30 pm. Entry fee for each golfer is $125 and includes green fees, golf cart, refreshments on the course, and meals.

The Golf Classic raises funds for life-sustaining treatments performed by the trained paramedics and emergency medical technicians of Evangelical Regional Mobile Medical Services (ERMMS). These emergency responders also provide vital patient information to Emergency Department (ED) personnel before the patient arrives at the ED doors.

This year’s event features on-the-course contests and a chance to win 2022 Ford Escape from Selinsgrove Ford with a hole-in-one on the course. Cornerstone Independent Asset Management is the main Golf Classic Sponsor. Other sponsorship opportunities are available for those looking to support ERMMS.

Awards to the top three teams in the morning and afternoon will be announced after all golfers have returned their score cards.

“Thanks to our generous sponsors, participants, and donors this annual event has raised more than $1,139, 211 since inception,” said Donna Schuck, Associate Vice President/Chief Development Officer at Evangelical. “This event is about more than just a day on the golf course; it’s about providing necessary funds to support the programming, equipment, and lifesaving services of our emergency response teams.”

ERMMS provides life-sustaining treatments performed by trained paramedics and EMTs at the scene of an emergency, answering over 13,000 calls per year with 50 percent of those being medical emergencies, 40 percent being trauma, and 10 percent classified as other. All ERMMS Paramedics are nationally registered and cover territories in Hummels Wharf, Watsontown, Mifflinburg, White Deer Township, Milton, Middleburg, New Columbia, Port Trevorton, and the surrounding areas.

Jonathan Bastian, Chief for ERMMS said, “The EMTs and Paramedics who make up our emergency response teams consistently deliver compassionate care during some of the most difficult situations. Funds raised through the Golf Classic enable the Hospital to provide the equipment and medical supplies they need to save lives.”
