Tee Up Against Cancer
Audi Mission Viejo | Volvo Mission Viejo | Polestar South Coast Golf Classic 2023
The 2023 Audi Mission Viejo | Volvo Mission Viejo | Polestar South Coast Golf Classic brought 250 golfers to the scenic Pelican Hill Golf Club on Wednesday, June 14.
The exciting day kicked off with warm-up sessions at the driving range before golfers enjoyed 18 holes of golf, featuring several putting contests and a variety of restaurant offerings and spirit tastings throughout the club’s two courses.
This year’s tournament supported technology and clinical programs within the Judi and Bill Leonard Institute for Cancer Prevention, Treatment and Wellness located at Providence Mission Hospital’s Mission Viejo campus. Since its opening in 2019, the institute has seen an average of 2,000 patients a month and is actively meeting the demand by providing a full range of cancer services within a single building.
“We are absolutely thrilled with this year’s turnout. Huge shout-out to our title sponsors, Audi Mission Viejo | Volvo Mission Viejo | Polestar South Coast, and all our supporters of the tournament” says Debbie MacDonald, event chair. “Our sponsors are local companies who are also providing various services across Mission Viejo and Laguna Beach. It’s a full-circle moment that goes along with being part of a unified community.”
Chief philanthropy officer Nicole Balsamo agrees. “Providence Mission Hospital’s ability to offer world-class specialty care is because of our supporters’ generosity. We are grateful for their enthusiasm and commitment which ensure the hospital and its caregivers have everything needed to thrive.”
Overall, the golf tournament was a swinging success, showcasing the importance of community partnership and having a world-class medical center in Orange County. To view photos from the tournament, visit supportmissionhospital.org/golf2023.
