The PGA Korn Ferry Tour has announced awards and honors from the 2022 season. The Memorial Health Foundation, which serves as the main beneficiary of the Memorial Health Championship presented by LRS, received the Charity of the Year honor.
The mission of Memorial Health is to improve lives and build stronger communities through better health. The Memorial Health Foundation provides support to the health system and their communities through education grants and community health initiatives. Educational grants from the foundations provide financial support for current and future colleagues.
Memorial Health greatly impacted the Memorial Health Championship presented by LRS through its volunteer service, with 105 Memorial Health colleagues providing over 1,500 hours of service to the event. More than 500 of those volunteer hours were dedicated to healthcare services and screenings – at no cost – for players, caddies, and staff. In addition to those services, Memorial Health also manned an on-site Mobile Memorial space where all tournament attendees could access healthcare services, screenings, and educational materials while at the event.
The Korn Ferry Tour will contribute $15,000 to Memorial Health, to further their charitable mission in Central Illinois.
