The French Hospital Medical Center Foundation is proud to announce that more than $80,000 was raised during The French Cup, the twelfth annual charity Golf Tournament. This year’s event, held on June 11 at the San Luis Obispo Country Club, broke previous French Cup records with the amount raised. Funds from the event will support the Hearst Cancer Resource Center Endowment at French Hospital.
More than 140 golfers participated in the tournament, which was followed by an awards reception. Local restaurants Ciopinot Seafood Grille, La Esquina, Olde Port Inn and Shell Beach Brewhouse provided golfers with delicious food throughout the course. The winning golf team included Sofie Aagard, Leonard Cohen, Dan Miller, and Justin Warthen. Winners took home the highly acclaimed French Cup medals created by Malcolm DeMille, designer of the PGA Tour trophy.
The French Cup was sponsored by Mustangs Sports Properties, with other major sponsors including Pacific Premier Bank, J.W. Design & Construction, and French Hospital Medical Center Medical staff.
Nipool Patel, a Foundation Board Member, has chaired the event for the past 11 years. Since its inception in 2007, The French Cup has generated more than $650,000 for FHMC’s programs and services. The FHMC Foundation hosts a number of fundraising activities such as the annual golf tournament to support patient services and hospital programs.
