Penn Yan Lions raise $16K for Cardiac Rehab program

Daily Messenger - 7/24/2018

July 24--Penn Yan Lions Club raised $16,221 to benefit the Cardiac Rehabilitation Scholarship Fund at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hospital via the recent Cardiac Scramble.

The golf tournament was played at Lakeside Country Club in Penn Yan. Net revenue from the event provides funds for financial assistance to Phase II cardiac rehabilitation participants who are unable to meet the full cost of co-payments not covered by insurance. A portion of the proceeds benefits other Lions club projects.

Lara Chatel Turbide, vice president of community services for Finger Lakes Health and executive director of the Finger Lakes Health Foundation, thanked Penn Yan Lions and co-chairmen Dave Payne and Bruce Roe for their efforts in organizing the tournament over the past 16 years.

"This year's contribution from tournament proceeds brings the total contributed by the Lions club to Soldiers & Sailors for the Cardiac Rehab Scholarship Fund to nearly $177,000," she said. "Because of the generosity and dedication of the Lions and Dave Payne and Bruce Roe, hundreds of cardiac patients have benefitted from this life-changing program. This type of community support is the hallmark of a community hospital, and Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hospital is very privileged to have had such incredible partners in the Penn Yan Lions."

Turbide thanked businesses, agencies and individuals who provided gifts, door prizes, hole sponsorships and major sponsorships for the event, as well as the golfers who supported the tournament.

"We appreciate everyone's support of Soldiers & Sailors and the Cardiac Rehab program," she said.
