Wayne Pruden Golf Tournament to benefit BUH mammography unit
Another full field of golfers will hit the links at the North Battleford Golf & Country Club June 4 for the 22nd annual Wayne Pruden Memorial Golf Tournament.
Since its inception in 1997, the event has served as a fundraiser for the Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation and as a lasting tribute to a well-respected and much-loved community leader and volunteer. The tournament has hosted golfers from as far away as Alberta and Winnipeg.
Hospital Foundation Executive Director Claudette McGuire said funds raised at this year’s tournament will go towards a new mammography unit for medical imaging at the hospital.
“The current mammogram unit is over 10 years old and needs to be replaced,” McGuire said. “Every year there are at least 2,000 mammograms completed in medical imaging, so we need to ensure we have access to the very best equipment.”
