University Hospital Foundation’s Golf Outing
Raises $215,000 for New Ambulance
Newark, NJ, August 16, 2023 – Rain didn’t stop golfers at University Hospital Foundation’s recent Annual Golf Classic. With over 150 attendees, the foundation exceeded its fundraising goal of $200,000 which will be used towards the purchase of a new ambulance to add to the hospital’s growing medical services fleet.
The golf classic also included a luxury silent auction, which allowed supporters to bid on several items such as luxury vacation villas, baskets of cheer, and many local golf experiences in the New Jersey area.
Through the support of those who played golf, donated, or took part in the auction, The Foundation got closer to providing the community with modernized equipment and ER services with a purchase of a new ambulance.
“We are extremely grateful to all the sponsors and colleagues who supported the golf classic and helped us exceed our goals,” said Jessica Backofen, Executive Director of University Hospital Foundation.
