More than 150 golfers participated in this year's
Golf Outing, which was held June 14 at Metedeconk National Golf Club, a
world-class course in Jackson, N.J
The annual event is organized
by the Princeton HealthCare System Foundation. Since 2007, the
Foundation has earmarked the funds to benefit Design for Healing, the
campaign to support the new hospital in Plainsboro.
"This event
gets bigger and better for us every year," said Joseph Stampe, Vice
President of Development for Princeton HealthCare System. "We've raised
$550,000 in the five years that we've dedicated the funds to the new
hospital, and each year we surpass the previous year's record for net
fundraising."
The lead sponsors of this year's outing were Conner
Strong, an insurance, risk management, and employee benefits brokerage
and consulting firm, and SEI Investments Co. This year's "steel
sponsors" were Turner Construction Co. and the Scheide Fund, a private
foundation that helps finance charitable projects to benefit residents
of Princeton and the surrounding areas.
Design for Healing has
raised about $130 million - nearly 90 percent of the way toward its goal
of $150 million - to support UMCPP, which will open in May 2012 as a
replacement hospital for the current University Medical Center at
Princeton.
