Samaritan Healthcare & Hospice Names Top Golf Tournament Sponsor

The Richardson Family Dealerships have been named title sponsor of the 2019 Drive FORE! A Good Cause, the Samaritan Healthcare & Hospice Annual Golf Tournament. This year’s 18-hole scramble- format tournament, will be held on Monday, June 24 at Little Mill Country Club in Marlton.

“The Richardson Family Dealerships have been proud supporters of Drive FORE! A Good Cause for eight years,” said Mary Ann Boccolini, president/CEO of Samaritan Healthcare & Hospice. “Their continued support helps Samaritan offer additional supportive services to patients and families at a very vulnerable time that would not otherwise be covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance. On behalf of all those we serve, we thank Jim and Shirley Richardson and The Richardson Family Dealerships for their generosity.”

Samaritan’s annual golf tournament has two important goals: to raise funds and to raise awareness. The event features hole-in-one contests to win luxury automobiles and other prizes along with mulligans, 50/50 raffles, and various individual and foursome awards. An online auction allows golfers at the tournament, as well as those who are not able to attend, to bid on a variety of noteworthy items. Proceeds from the event support Samaritan’s direct care in the South Jersey community to help people to live each day fully and with comfort, support, and dignity, even as they cope with issues of aging, serious illness, and grief.
