SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. — Organizers of the 37th annual Bernie Hutzler Golf Classic, sponsored by the WVU Hospitals East Foundation, are calling the event a huge success as the annual golf fund raiser exceeded its goal of raising $80,000.
Co-Chairs Matt Stickel and Trayer Rudy reported that 211 golfers played in the annual golf classic held at The Club at Cress Creek in Shepherdstown. The winning team of Chris Ross, Antonio Garcia M.D., Owen Elliott and Corey Jackson shot a 54 to earn the overall first place finish.
The money raised will benefit WVU Medicine Berkeley Medical Center, Jefferson Medical Center and the WVU Heart and Vascular Institute.
“We truly appreciate all our sponsors, participants and volunteers who come together each year to make the Bernie Hutzler Golf Classic one of the most long-standing premier golf events in our region,” Deborah Crites, director of development for the WVU Hospitals East Foundation, said. “We are proud to continue the tradition of investing in the health of our community.”
According to Crites, nearly $2 million has been raised from the golf tournament over the past 37 years to fund patient care equipment, new programs and enhanced services at Berkeley Medical Center, Jefferson Medical Center and other WVU Medicine clinics.
The Bernie Hutzler Golf Classic is held annually on the first Monday in June. Next year’s event will be held on June 2 at The Woods Golf Course in Hedgesville, W.Va. For more information, call 304-264-1223.
