Annual Golf Tournament
The Saint Joseph Hospital Foundation Golf Tournament has a new name! Recently the Golf Committee made a decision to partner with Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell to create the Brian Littrell Saint Joseph Foundation Golf Tournament. Planning is currently underway for this June 30th event! Since its beginning in 1990, the tournament has raised over $410,000. Last year�s tournament netted a record-breaking $80,000 for the Sisters of the award-winning Appalachian Outreach Program. This program assists over 10,000 former patients in central and eastern Kentucky whom suffer from illnesses such as heart disease or diabetes. The day�s events consist of lunch, dinner, live entertainment, silent auction, and presentation of awards. In addition, 2,000 golf balls are dropped from the sky and a lucky raffle ticket holder wins $1,000! If you would like more information or would like to sponsor a team, please call 859.313.1705.
