The Vern Ketchem Golf Tournament to Benefit the Hospital Foundation

After Augusta awards the green jacket, golfers from throughout our area tee off in our own tournament to benefit The Hospital Foundation. This annual fundraiser is named in memory of Vern Ketchem, who served as the organization’s founding director. In 2009, the tournament raised nearly $8,000, which funded free prostate cancer screenings for men across the Kershaw County area.
 
Join our next Vern Ketchem Hospital Foundation Golf Tournament is Monday, April 12, 2010. 

The Pegasus Ball

The grandeur of the Pegasus Ball invites our community to don their finest clothes in support of KershawHealth. The biennial black-tie gala features food, music and not-to-be-missed decorations. Past themes have included An Evening in Serengeti and Venice Carnivale, and A Return to Resort-era Camden.
 
Lighting up the evening sky on the Thursday before the Carolina Cup, our next Pegasus Ball will be held March 25, 2010 at The National Steeplechase Museum in Camden. Invitations to purchase tickets ($150 per person)  for the 2010 ball will be sent to those who have made a contribution of at least $100 since the last ball. For more information, click here.

The Baruch Society Members’ Dinner

On Thursday evening prior to The Colonial Cup in the fall, The Hospital Foundation hosts a dinner to recognize and thank donors who have made annual contributions of at least $1,000. In 2008, Albert Baruch Mercer, MD, grand nephew of Bernard Baruch, joined us as our honored guest and speaker. 

The 2009 Baruch Society Members Dinner will be held Thursday, November 19th. The guest speaker will be Steve Thompson, Senior Vice President of Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore.
