Samaritan recently held their 32nd annual golf tournament, “Drive FORE! A Good Cause.” A record 200 golfers participated in this year’s event, held at Little Mill Country Club in Marlton, which raised awareness of Samaritan’s mission and funds for the essential services they provide as a regional leader for hospice, palliative, at-home and advance illness care.

This year’s golf tournament was sponsored by The Richardson Family Dealerships, and raised more than $215,000 to support the organization’s comprehensive family of services that enhance the lives of those coping with issues of aging, serious illness or grief, as well as those who care for them throughout South Jersey.

“Through the generosity of our sponsors, golfers and volunteers, this year’s golf tournament was our most successful one to date,” said Mary Ann Boccolini, president and CEO of Samaritan. “Each year, Drive FORE! A Good Cause gives us the dual opportunity to both sustain and advance our life-enhancing services to patients and families throughout the communities we serve. We would like to thank all of this year’s sponsors, especially The Richardson Family Dealerships, and recognize the hard work of our golf committee, led by returning co-chairs Cliff Mancine and Roy Fazio – we could not achieve such success without your dedication and support!”

About Samaritan:

Samaritan is a not-for-profit, independent organization locally founded in Moorestown, New Jersey in 1980 as one of the first hospices in the country. Samaritan is now one of the State’s leading providers of hospice care, palliative (comfort) medicine, at-home primary care, grief support and counseling, advanced illness care, education and advocacy. Samaritan serves people in Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Mercer counties who are coping with the stresses of aging, serious illness or grief wherever they call home. Samaritan also has two dedicated inpatient hospice centers in Voorhees and Mount Holly. Beyond the services covered by Medicare, Medicaid and commercial insurance plans, Samaritan annually provides nearly $1M in donor-funded non-reimbursed care for patients and families in the South Jersey region. A thrift shop in Westmont also supports Samaritan services and programs. Samaritan is accredited by The Joint Commission; a member of the National Partnership for Hospice Innovation; and is a four-star hospice in the national We Honor Veterans program.
