November 16 2016 - 5:00AM
The twelfth annual EagleBank Foundation Fight Against Breast Cancer
Golf Classic and First Annual Tennis Classic, held on October 10,
2016, at the Woodmont Country Club, raised over $400,000--our most
successful fundraiser yet. Proceeds from this event continue
to support research and outreach programs through partnerships with
the following local hospitals and organizations: Shady Grove
Adventist Hospital and Suburban Hospital in Montgomery County, MD,
Providence Hospital and Washington Hospital Center in Washington,
DC, and Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, VA. Other
beneficiaries include The Children’s Inn at The National Institutes
of Health, the Primary Care Coalition of Montgomery County, Lolly’s
Locks, Hope Connections for Cancer Support, and The Breast Cancer
Research Foundation.
Since the first golf tournament in 2005, the
Foundation has raised over $3 million for the benefit of local area
hospitals and organizations in their fight against breast
cancer. These funds have enabled local hospitals and other
cancer-focused organizations in our community to continue ongoing
research and provide support services—all dedicated to putting an
end to breast cancer.
“As Chairman of the EagleBank Foundation, I
would like to thank all of our players, donors, sponsors,
volunteers and friends for their generous contribution to making
this year's EagleBank Golf Tournament and First Annual Tennis
Classic for the fight against breast cancer a tremendous success,”
commented Don Rogers (of Shulman Rogers), a Director of
EagleBank. “It was a sell-out event that raised more than
$400,000 that will be distributed to cancer programs at area
hospitals and to local organizations who provide
needed services to breast cancer survivors. Breast
cancer touches nearly everyone. We all know someone who has
been affected by this disease, in fact, one out of eight women and
more than 2,600 men each year. We are hopeful that our
efforts will play a role in the prevention and help find a quicker
path to a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime.”
“Raising public awareness for breast cancer is
so critical, as more and more women each day are diagnosed with the
disease,” commented EagleBank’s Chairman and CEO Ron Paul.
“As a local, business bank and good corporate citizen, it is
extremely important to us to focus on this mission to raise funds
for the many worthy cancer treatment and research facilities in our
community who are making a big difference in the lives of cancer
patients. Our golf tournament is one of the ways that we give
back to our community. Because of the generous donations of
individuals and corporations for these past 12 years—and the
passion and hard work of our Committee members and everyone else
involved in organizing this tournament—we have been able to raise
substantial funds to help fight the devastating effects that breast
cancer has on all who are touched by it. We are thankful to
everyone for their continued support of our efforts to save more
lives and help with this critical fight.”
