Sixth Annual EagleBank Foundation Fight Breast Cancer Golf Classic Raises Over $266,000
15 November 2010 - 12:00PM
This year represented EagleBank Foundation's sixth year of
sponsoring the Fight Breast Cancer Golf Classic for the benefit of
local area hospitals and organizations in their fight against
breast cancer. Since the first golf tournament in 2005, we have
raised over $915,000. These funds have enabled local hospitals and
other cancer-focused organizations in our community to continue
ongoing research and provide support services—all dedicated to
putting an end to breast cancer.
The sixth annual EagleBank Foundation Fight Breast Cancer Golf
Classic, held on October 11, 2010, at the Woodmont Country Club,
raised over $266,000. Proceeds from this year's event will be
used to continue our support of research and outreach programs
through our partnership with the following local hospitals and
organizations: Shady Grove Adventist Hospital and Suburban Hospital
in Montgomery County, MD, and The George Washington University
Cancer Institute, Providence Hospital and Washington Hospital
Center in Washington, DC. Other beneficiaries will be the
Breast Cancer Research Foundation, the Primary Care Coalition of
Montgomery County and the Wellness Community.
"We are again proud of our efforts to raise funds to help those
hospitals and organizations in our community who are on the front
line doing all they can to win the battle against breast cancer,"
commented Donald R. Rogers (of Shulman, Rogers, Gandal, Pordy &
Ecker, P.A.), a director of EagleBank and the Chairman of the
EagleBank Foundation. "Because of the tremendous generosity
and support of our sponsors, players, contributors and volunteers,
we are proud to provide this much-needed funding for breast cancer
programs and services at these well-deserving local hospitals and
organizations. Once again, it is unbelievable that we
'over-sold' this event during these still challenging economic
times. This is a testament to the passion and hard work of our
Committee members and everyone else involved in organizing this
event. It was truly an honor working with so many wonderful,
dedicated people with the same commitment and focus," he
concluded.
"As a local community business bank, this annual event brings us
in contact with many others who share our commitment to the
community and this cause—to fight the devastating effects that
breast cancer has on all who are touched by it," commented
EagleBank's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ronald D. Paul.
"We could not do it alone. Working with employees, board
members and their spouses, vendors and suppliers, the hospitals,
and our most generous sponsors, donors and players, we successfully
raised over $266,000. We're proud of these efforts and
sincerely thank everyone involved. We look forward to another
successful tournament in 2011 and another chance to make a
difference in the fight against breast cancer."
