Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Foundation will host its 27th Annual Golf Benefit this Friday at the Mattoon Golf & Country Club. Net proceeds from the event will benefit construction of Sarah Bush Lincoln’s new Regional Cancer Center. With its Building Hope Campaign, the Health Foundation has made a commitment to raise $3.5 million to support construction of the $15.4 million project.
Golf teams will participate in morning and afternoon flights, with 25 teams scheduled for the morning flight and 36 in the afternoon.

Registration for the afternoon flight will begin at 11:30 am with a 1 pm tee time.
Prizes will be awarded to winners of challenges on each of the 18 holes during an evening reception from 6 to 8 pm in the clubhouse. Prizes include gift certificates, furniture, St. Louis Cardinals baseball tickets, Chicago Bulls basketball tickets, Illinois football tickets, NASCAR tickets, and outdoor living/patio items.
Additionally, the lucky winner of a raffle will win a seven day/six night trip to Maui, Hawaii. Tickets for this raffle can be purchased for $10 each during the Golf Benefit, or two for $10 from the Foundation office prior to Friday. You need not be present at the reception to win. A note of special thanks is extended to Doug and Tracey McCord for the generous donation of their Hawaii home.
