Despite adverse weather conditions, the Daniels Memorial Healthcare Foundation
successfully conducted its 24th Annual Golf Classic starting with the Calcutta on Friday,
August 8th. Due to overnight rain and flooding with significant water running through the
course, the tournament was postponed on Saturday and subsequently held on Sunday,
August 10th.
Throughout the challenging weather conditions and heavy smoke, the fundraising event
proceeded successfully. The Calcutta achieved record bidding, reaching $33,600, with
payouts totaling $26,880. After covering all expenses, the Foundation achieved a record net
profit of $24,670 in the two-day fundraising effort.
Funds from the 2025 tournament have been allocated to the Clinic and the Physical
Therapy Department. A new Cryotherapy unit for the DMHC Clinic was purchased for
$2637 and is currently in use. “Cryotherapy is the use of liquid nitrogen, or extreme cold, to
treat numerous types of skin lesions”, stated Sierra Hentges, PA-C. “Our new tank and tools
will help treat patients locally”. For the Physical Therapy department, a new larger therapy
table has been purchased for $4335 and is expected to arrive soon. Additional physical
therapy items are planned, with total estimated expenditures around $10,000.
Friday evening at the Calcutta featured a significant occasion: the launch of the Daniels
Memorial Healthcare Center and Foundation Capital Campaign, dedicated to constructing
a new hospital and healthcare center in Scobey. The announcement was delivered by
Tanner Trower, Chairman of the DMHC Board of Directors; Kody Brinton, CEO of DMHC;
and Charlie Cahill, Chairman of the Campaign Committee. Attendees received updates
regarding the plans and progress for the proposed facility, and the presentation concluded
with a toast, offering both champagne and non-alcoholic beverages.
Cahill Seeds, Inc., which achieved first place in the Golf Classic Calcutta, generously
donated their winnings of $8,752 back to the Foundation’s capital campaign fund. They,
and the Foundation, encourage local businesses, corporations, and families to recognise
the significance of supporting the new healthcare project for our community and to
contribute.
