Golf tournament raises $1,200 for Goldschmidt Cancer Center

The Mark Fleischmann Memorial Golf Tournament recently made a donation to Capital Region Medical Foundation.

This year's tournament raised $1,200 to be donated to the foundation's transportation fund for the Goldschmidt Cancer Center.

"What a wonderful gift, and we thank you for your tremendous support of this important program for our cancer patients," foundation Director Rita Kempker said.

In the first six months of 2019, the transportation fund has given out 81 gas cards and is on pace to do the same during the second half of the year. The program benefits cancer patients who struggle to procure transportation to the cancer center for their treatments.
