Seventh Annual EagleBank Foundation Fight Breast Cancer Golf Classic Raised Over $350,000
30 Januar 2012 - 11:00AM
The seventh annual EagleBank Foundation Fight Breast Cancer Golf
Classic, held on October 10, 2011, at the Trump National Golf Club,
raised over $350,000. Proceeds from this event were 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 Providence Hospital and Washington Hospital Center
in Washington, DC. Other beneficiaries were the Avon Walk for
Breast Cancer, The Children's Inn at The National Institutes of
Health, the Primary Care Coalition of Montgomery County and the
Wellness Community.
Since the first golf tournament in 2005, the Foundation has
raised over $1,200,000 for the benefit of local area hospitals and
organizations in their fight against breast cancer. 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.
"We are extremely proud of our ongoing 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 continued
generosity and support of our sponsors, players, contributors and
volunteers, we are delighted to provide this much-needed funding
for breast cancer programs and services at these well-deserving
local hospitals and organizations. Once again, it is
incredible that we "over-sold" this event during these still tough
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 is truly an honor working with so
many wonderful, dedicated people with the same commitment and
focus," he concluded.
"As a local community 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. "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 $350,000. This truly is a team effort
and we sincerely thank everyone involved. We look forward to
another successful tournament in October 2012 and the opportunity
to once more make a difference in the fight against breast
cancer."
