Bob Jones Invitational Golf Tournament
Issue: 2021/11 – November
Highlands Country Club’s Bob Jones Invitational Golf Tournament nets $250,000 for Highlands Cashiers Health Foundation.
The 39th Bob Jones Invitational Golf Tournament was held August 5-7 at Highlands Country Club.
This year the Tournament raised in excess of $250,000 benefitting the Highlands Cashiers Health Foundation. Proceeds will go toward the funding of the Blue Ridge Highlands Cashiers Health Center, the foundation’s number one priority project.
“We are pleased to dedicate the proceeds from the Bob Jones Invitational Golf Tournament to support this important initiative for families and neighbors across our Highlands and Cashiers area. Local access to high quality, affordable health care and keeping physicians here is essential to all of us,” said Jim Santo, Co-Chair of the Tournament Committee.
The health center, independently operated by Blue Ridge Health, opened on the hospital campus June 28 with two full-time physicians providing comprehensive primary care. The Highlands Cashiers Health Foundation is making this project possible through grants and contributions from the community.
“We are deeply grateful and humbled by the extraordinary generosity of this distinguished tradition to benefit our mission to improve health and well-being of the residents of the Highlands plateau.” said Dr. Walter Clark, Foundation Chair.
Supporting healthcare is not new to Highlands Country Club. Over the past 38 years the Bob Jones Invitational has contributed approximately six million dollars to vital healthcare services on the Plateau.
“There’s no doubt that Bob Jones was one of the greatest golfers of all time, and there is no doubt that the generosity and integrity of Highlands Country Club has made a meaningful, positive impact on the health of our community,” said Robin Tindall, Foundation CEO and Executive Director.
