AT&T CHAMPIONS CLASSIC
TO MAKE DONATION TO
HENRY MAYO HEALTH FOUNDATION
Valencia, CA (October 24, 2007) - A $90,000 check from funds raised during the AT&T Champions Classic will be presented to the Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Health Foundation on October 31, 2007, at 10:30 a.m. in the hospital lobby.
"We are proud to host this prestigious event in the Santa Clarita Valley and to partner with the hospital in support of its mission to provide quality healthcare services to valley residents," said Dave Nichols, senior vice president of external affairs, AT&T California. "Being able to provide support to the hospital and other local charities is a key element in what we do in hosting and sponsoring the AT&T Champions Classic. We are looking forward to the 2008 event at Valencia Country Club."
This is the third year of tournament involvement for Henry Mayo, which serves as the primary beneficiary of charity proceeds generated by the AT&T Champions Classic. Funds previously raised by the event have helped finance and support the hospital’s “Next Generation of Care” campaign, including an emergency department expansion and cardiac catheterization laboratory.
“We are incredibly grateful for AT&T’s involvement with our community and Henry Mayo with the AT&T Champions Classic,” said Bob Hudson, chief financial officer for the hospital. “They are a true partner in supporting the Santa Clarita Valley and a loyal friend to its community hospital. We look forward to growing this partnership over many years to come.”
The AT&T Champions Event, held at Valencia Country Club in March, 2007, was won by Tom Purtzer in a four-hole playoff over Loren Roberts. The 2008 AT&T Champions Classic will be played March 10 - 16 at Valencia Country Club, with proceeds to benefit the Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Health Foundation and other local charities.
