CATALDO AMBULANCE, FRIENDS AND FAMILY
DONATES OVER $30,000 TO AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY

SOMERVILLE, Massachusetts – More than 144 golfers hit the greens at Atkinson Country Club in Atkinson, NH for the Cataldo Ambulance Swing Fore Hope Charity Tournament, raising nearly $34,000 for the American Cancer Society.

Funds raised at the tournament were once again donated to the AstraZeneca Hope Lodge Center Boston and to the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. The AstraZeneca Hope Lodge provides free lodging, transportation and support for those who must travel far from home for cancer treatment. The ACS Cancer Action Network works to bring together key leaders and decision makers in medical research, cancer care, and health policy to make cancer a top priority among elected officials.

“It is wonderful to see our community, employees and friends of Cataldo Ambulance continuously support this event,” said Vice President, Dennis Cataldo. “The need for the Hope Lodge and important medical research continues to grow and it is an honor for us to host this event to benefit so many affected by cancer each year.”

This year’s tournament was sponsored by numerous vendors and customers including Do-Awl Construction, Eastern Bank, Eastpointe Rehab and Skilled Care Center, HUB International, Inc., and many others within the healthcare industry who participated at various sponsorship levels.

The annual tournament, held each May, has raised nearly $400,000 for the American Cancer Society since the event began in 1993. May 21, 2012 will mark the twentieth anniversary of the charity tournament.

We have built a website dedicated to sharing photos and information from the day where participants are able to view and purchase photos from the day. Please visit cataldogolf.shutterfly.com. Thank you to everyone for supporting our important event and for everyone’s continued generosity.
