OMC announces date for Golf Ball Drop

Oconee Medical Center announces that at noon on October 23^rd, golf balls will rain down on the front lawn of the hospital.  This is part of the hospital’s annual Golf Classic on October 24^th at Keowee Key and Cross Creek Plantation to raise money for the Oconee Medical Center Foundation, explains executive director Cortni Nations. “We are selling 200 balls for $50 a piece, lots of people like to go in together and purchase a ball.  Those balls will be numbered and a helicopter will fly over at noon and drop those balls on the front lawn of OMC.  We will have a big bull’s eye painted and the closest to the bull’s eye will win cash.  If we sell all 200 balls, they will win $2,500 for first place or 25% of the proceeds.  We also do a second and third place, so you are bound to win something and it is just a fun way to come out and support all of our health care services.” All purchases are tax-deductible.  Nations says balls are still available for purchase.  “Lots of our employees really get into this, they have bought a lot of balls already, but we still have some available.  As I said, it is just a fun thing to add to our Golf Classic.  You can go in with a friend, buy a ball, and have a great chance of winning.  Of course more importantly know that you are giving to a good cause.”  To purchase a golf ball or register for the Golf Classic, call 864-885-7562.  The deadline to purchase golf balls is October 22^nd.
