Selwyn Persad of Berkeley Medical Center and Gary Spoales of American Public University System have been named co-chairs for the 2014 University Healthcare Bernie Hutzler Golf Classic.
The annual golf classic, which benefits Berkeley Medical Center in Martinsburg and Jefferson Medical Center in Ranson, will be held on Monday, June 2 at The Woods in Hedgesville. Over $1.3 million in proceeds has been raised as a result of past golf tournaments.
This year marks the 27th year for the tournament, which was established in 1988 as a fund raiser and “friend” raiser for Berkeley Medical Center. Named in memory of University Healthcare Charter Board Director Dr. James “Bernie” Hutzler, the tournament was expanded in 2010 to benefit both University Healthcare medical centers.
Proceeds from this year’s golf classic will be used to purchase OmniBeds for the new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), opening this summer at Berkeley Medical Center. “This new service will improve access to neonatal intensive care for babies and mothers in the Eastern Panhandle with high risk pregnancies,” stated Teresa McCabe, vice president of marketing and development for University Healthcare.
The 2014 Bernie Hutzler Golf Classic will feature two flights with shotgun starts at 7:45 am and 1 pm. Registration will begin 30 minutes prior to the start of each flight. Flight preference will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Golfers may form their own teams but will be subject to handicap restrictions as determined by the Golf Pro at The Woods.
Sponsorship levels include the $5000 Presenting, $2500 Underwriting, $1000 Sponsor, $500 Patron and $200 Golfer. A portion of the sponsorship and golfer packages is tax deductible. For more information on the 2014 golf classic, contact Teresa McCabe or Jody Wolfe at (304) 264-1223.
