Events
Pardee Hospital Foundation hosts a variety of events to keep donors, patients, families and the community in touch with the Foundation and the hospital.
Fundraising events provide meaningful and enjoyable ways for individuals, corporations, businesses and community partners to support the hospital. Through your involvement with the Tournament of Champions and Women Helping Women, Pardee is able to increase its margin of excellence to better serve the community.
Other events held throughout the year focus on education and appreciation. This year we will have our Diamond Jubilee Gala in June, which celebrates the positive impact of charitable giving by awarding the Philanthropist of the Year as well as the Physician of the Year.

Tournament of Champions
Pardee Hospital Foundation's annual Tournament of Champions golf event was held on May 13th at the Kenmure Country Club in Flat Rock. Thanks to the generous support of donors like you, the tournament raised $100,000 to purchase an angiography imagery device used for imaging in orthopedic, vascular or general surgery, allowing surgeons to do arterial and venous imaging. This would be most often used for diagnosing and removing blood clots and placing vascular stents while doing a bypass.
Since 1996, the Tournament of Champions has raised over $1.9 million to support Pardee Hospital facilities, equipment, and programs as well as providing affordable quality healthcare in our community.
We invite you to consider supporting next year's tournament, which will highlight the Foundation's 19th anniversary as well as directly benefit patients and services of Pardee Hospital and the community.

Concerned about Henderson County's alarming breast cancer rate – one of the state's highest – a group of compassionate and concerned women leaders spearheaded Pardee Foundation's Women Helping Women program and fund in1998. Its mission: To provide financial assistance to uninsured women for mammograms, treatments and services at Pardee Hospital.
Since its inception, Women Helping Women has raised more than $1.7 million and helped nearly 1,000 patients. Over the years the program's reach expanded to include financial assistance to patients who are uninsured or under-insured and need health care for breast and other women's cancers, heart disease, osteoporosis and serious illnesses. The WHW Fund also has paid for vital new equipment such as digital mammography units. Today, Henderson County has one of the state's highest breast cancer survival rates.
