Eighteen Days Until Event Time

The Ocean Reef Medical Center Foundation’s Annual Fun-Raiser has been a tradition for 43 years at Ocean Reef. Some fun “factoids” since its inception:

  • A total of 80 people have chaired this event since 1983.
  • The first event, chaired by George Edwards in 1983, raised $9,084.
  • In the early years, sponsors had signage placed at each of the golf holes. This effort took days and was championed by John Campbell.
  • The Tennis tournament was added in 1996.
  • Pickleball was added in 2016.
  • Croquet was added in 2023.
  • The 5K Fun-Run was added last year.
  • The Farmer family has donated the players’ hats for over 25 years, and each year the color picked for the hats is a fun surprise.

This yearly event brings the community together with one goal: to support the Medical Center. The donations raised, along with so many members willing to volunteer, have become a vital part of the Medical Center’s fundraising. Collectively, over 43 years, the Fun-Raiser has raised several million dollars in support of the Medical Center’s operations.

Whether you are an avid golfer, a weekend warrior or a casual player, the Medical Center’s 43rd-Annual Fun-Raiser is a great opportunity to support the Medical Center. You can register to play in either (or both) 18- and 9-hole golf tournaments and compete for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th-place prizes. Each year the first-place winners’ names go on the Tournament plaque permanently displayed at the Medical Center.

Want to participate in the golfing events but don’t have a team? You can enter as a single entry and, if you’re new to Ocean Reef, it’s a great way to meet others.

Not a golfer? There are plenty of other sports to participate in: tennis, croquet & pickleball on March 11 and a 5K “Fun-Run” on March 8.

All event participants are welcome at the awards luncheon at Town Hall Waterside on March 12 .

Raffle tickets are available to purchase at the Medical Center and at the events. First prize: A golf cart or $10,000 cash; second prize: $5,000 cash; third prize: $2,500 cash. (Winners do not need to be present to win.)
