Anna Jaques Hospital's 25th Annual

Fore Your Health Golf Tournament

The 25th Annual Fore Your Health Golf Tournament will be held on Monday, August 17th at the Renaissance Golf Club in Haverhill, MA. Dollars raised from players and sponsors will support the new Anna Jaques Cancer Center affiliated with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

The anniversary event will celebrate Byron Matthews, former Mayor of Newburyport, Anna Jaques Board Member and longtime supporter of the hospital, who has been at the helm of the golf tournament since it began in 1990. Under his leadership, this signature event for the Anna Jaques Community Health Foundation has raised over $1.6 million to support programs, services and technologies that benefit patients and their care.

There are still a few openings in the 7:30am round ($175/player) which includes 18 holes of golf with cart, a continental breakfast and an awards luncheon. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top men's, women's and co-ed teams.
