Nearly 300 golfers took to the links of Hackensack Golf Club in Oradell to participate in the 22nd Annual Holy Name Medical Center Classic Golf Tournament on Monday, June 20. Sponsored by the Holy Name Foundation, the event raised nearly $300,000 that will benefit advanced research and comprehensive patient care at the Medical Center.

"The Classic Golf Tournament is one of our events that is beneficial to all involved – it's not only fun and social, but also productive," said Michael Maron, president & CEO, Holy Name Medical Center. "The people who participate--our friends and colleagues--are essential to the Medical Center's mission, providing the support that helps us make investments in patient care, technology and clinical talent."

With both morning and afternoon shot-gun starts, participants enjoyed a day of golf, food and camaraderie with professional athletes, including Ottis Jerome "O.J." Anderson, former New York Giant running back, MVP of Super Bowl XXV in 1991, Stephen Baker, former wide receiver for the New York Giants and Stanley Cup Champion Ken Daneyko of the NJ Devils Alumni Association.

"This year's tournament was the largest outing since 2009, both in attendance and financial support," said Celeste Oranchak, vice president of development and executive director of the Holy Name Medical Center Foundation. "Holy Name and its staff extend a special thank you to all of the golfers and sponsors who made this tournament such a success."
