Registration underway for benefit to fund treatment for patients at The Child Center, Challenge Camp

Town of Summit, Wis. – Bristlecone Pines Golf Club in Hartland will be the site of the Rogers Memorial Hospital Foundation’s 14th Annual Golf Outing on July 13, 2009.

In 2008, this sold-out event raised $70,000 in support of The Child Center at Rogers Memorial Hospital. The Child Center provides innovative residential behavioral health programs for children ages 8 through 12.

One hundred percent of the 2009 Golf Outing proceeds will be used for financial assistance for patients in The Child Center and for children to attend Challenge Camp, a therapeutic summer day camp for children with behavioral disorders.

“More than 50 percent of Rogers Memorial Hospital’s patients are children and teens,” said Marion Heinz, executive director of the foundation, “The funds raised from this event will go directly toward giving those children hope, help, and healing to last a lifetime.”

The event is co-chaired by Rick Andritsch and Jason Dvorak. Committee members include Steve Barnes, Nick Bauer, Kevin Carl, Michael Holland, Cal Schmidt, Tamara Swan, Christine Toson Hengtes, and Mike Welsh.

Registration includes a lunch buffet, 18 holes of golf, a cart, an elegant dinner, program and auction. For more information, or to register for this event, contact Cindy Seidle at 262-646-1343.
