Marshall Browning Hospital Celebrates Big Win for Patients


Du Quoin, Illinois - July 1, 2014 - Marshall Browning Hospital hosted their 13th Annual Charity Golf Classic on Thursday, June 26. Golfers had a beautiful day as they gathered at Red Hawk Golf Club to support the patients of Marshall Browning Hospital. The event raised $14,273 and will be used to purchase a ventilator and air transfer system for the emergency room. The equipment will greatly enhance the care provided to patients in Perry County and the surrounding communities.

A total of 22 teams participated in the four-person scramble. Golfers were treated to a delicious meal prepared by Red Hawk staff and refreshments throughout the day. Prizes were awarded to the first, seventh, thirteenth and "funnest foursome."

The winning team was sponsored by Genesio Refrigeration and included Chuck Genesio, Kalin Bridges, Jason Furlow and Jordan Campanella with an impressive score of 54. Prizes were also awarded to the 7th place team sponsored by NewWave and included Laura Williams, Josh Lemons, Anthony Heinrich and Terry Delaval. The 13th place team was sponsored by Banterra Bank and included Sandy Jones, Susie Williams, Ron Mann and Andrew Darnell. The 'funnest foursome' was awarded to Wayne Born, Dennis Dickey, Brian Schandl and Sherry Wertz.

Winner of the Longest Drive on hole #13 went to Anthony Heinrich sponsored by NewWave, Closest to the Pin on hole #3 was awarded to Tom Folden sponsored by Save A Lot, and Longest Putt on hole #18 was awarded to Josh Wilson sponsored by Linzee Insurance Agency.

Vogler Motor Company of Carbondale again generously sponsored a hole-in-one prize including a 2 year lease on a 2014 Ford Escape, as well as other auxiliary prizes for Par 3 hole-in-one contests. Oasis Pools and Spas of Du Quoin sponsored a hole-in-one prize of a new Twilight Series Master Spa on #11. There were no winners of the hole-in-one contests.
