NORTH BATTLEFORD — Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation just wrapped up its 26th annual Wayne Pruden Memorial Golf Tournament, and by all accounts it achieved another successful year for the books!
From a virtual to a fall date event, this time honoured golf tournament has once again reclaimed its original date of the first Monday in June at the North Battleford Golf and Country Club. Community members and longtime supporters of the tournament eagerly awaited participation in a day of fellowship and fun.
A couple of highlights of the tournament included the “Spirit of Giving” award in honour of Wayne Pruden’s generosity, volunteerism and love for community. Many worthy individuals have been recognized over the years and this year’s recipient, Deb McNabb, was no exception. In addition, for their fifth consecutive year, the best dressed team, “Too Much Muscle” was awarded first place for their spectacular Wayne look alike.
Funds raised from this year’s golf tournament will purchase a new ECG (electrocardiography) machine for use in the Lab Services at Battlefords Union Hospital. Performing over 10,000 ECG’s a year this piece of medical equipment is vital in enhancing patient healthcare.
“We are extremely grateful for our volunteers and sponsors, including our Master Sponsor Innovation CU for supporting this tournament through its entire existence.
