Hospital's golf classic raises more than $80,000 for ER expansion

Warwick - St. Anthony Community Hospital’s fourth annual Golf Classic raised more than $80,000 for the expansion of the hospital’s Emergency Department. Several years ago, the Committee for the Annual Golf Classic had to double accommodations by holding its golf event on two nearby award winning courses; Wild Turkey and Crystal Springs. The event was chaired by Leo R. Kaytes and Frank Petrucci. This year’s hole-in-one prizes were a brand new Chevrolet, courtesy of Country Chevy Olds, and a Ford, courtesy of Leo Kaytes Ford. Golfers also received a variety of amenities and were treated to breakfast and lunch, an all-day open bar and, later that afternoon, a buffet dinner, all courtesy of many generous sponsors.
