WARWICK — Seventy-two golfers and 16 tennis players participated in St. Anthony Community Hospital's annual Golf and Tennis Classic on Sept. 16 at the Warwick Valley Country Club, an event that raised more than $26,000.

Co-chairs of this year’s event were Doug Stage and Frank Petrucci and Tennis Chair Jane Brief.

“By all accounts the day was a tremendous success,“ Stage said in the hospital's press release announcing the results of the fund raiser. “We exceeded our fund-raising goal and will contribute the proceeds raised at this event to the Medical Equipment and Technology Fund at St. Anthony Community Hospital.”

Established in 1958, the Warwick Valley Country Club consists of a nine-hole golf course with 18 tee boxes and four state-of-the-art Hydro-Fed soft tennis courts, which afford players extended play without fatigue.

During the Classic, golfers and players received a variety of amenities including drinks delivered directly to the participants, lunch at the club and a shrimp and clam bar on the course. Special raffles, prizes and awards were presented during a ceremony following a cocktail hour and dinner.
