HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE – Redbud Community Hospital will host its fifth annual Charity Golf Tournament and Silent Auction on Wednesday, May 23, at the Hidden Valley Lake Golf and Country Club.

Each year the hospital sponsors the tournament to raise funds for a project that benefits the community. This year the proceeds will go toward the purchase of a new Phillips cardiac monitoring system for Redbud's Intensive Care Unit.

The new monitors will provide more precise monitoring of vital signs, an increase in the number of parameters that can be tracked at one time, and an enhanced ability to do automatic drug calculations. Additionally, the system will increase our telemetry capability, which allows monitoring of a patient's cardiac rhythm.

The $125 entry fee per player ($62.50 is tax deductible) includes green fees & golf cart, range balls, tee prizes, boxed lunch, golf shirt, and a barbecue dinner. Corporate sponsorships, ranging from $125 to $2,000, are also available.

The Silent Auction is open to the public. Items go on display at 10 a.m. and the auction concludes at 6:15 p.m. The public is encouraged to come and participate in this event, even if they are not golfers.

The competition will feature 18 holes in a scramble format, with both an A and a B flight, foursome play, and begins with a shotgun start at 12:30 p.m. Check-in begins at 10 a.m. Event organizers will team up people who do not have a foursome. Singles are also welcome.

Hole-in-one prizes include a $30,000 Yamaha speedboat and an ATV, among other prizes.
