Description

We will hold our 29th annual golf dinner with live and silent auctions on Thursday, August 21. Our golf tournament will be held at the Cumberland Country Club on Friday, August 22 with two flights 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.

All golf sponsors are able to attend the dinner for free.  We usually have around 40+ golf teams sponored in our tournament.  There is something for everyone at our dinner and auctions.  Our guests love to attend each year.  Most of our attendees are community members that are interested in supporting the WMHS Foundation and our community. 

This year all funds raised will support Hospice care in our region.

The WMHS Foundation supports the UPMC Western Maryland patients and staff.  We are located in Cumberland, MD.  The closest hospital is 60 minues away in any direction.  The WMHS Foundation is raising funds in 2025 to support Hospice Care.  We have patients that do not qualify to be in the hospital but do not have anyone at home to meet their needs.  We are paying for patients to be in a beautiful Hospice suite at four different nursing homes throughout Allegany County.  During the last days of the patients life we want them to be surrounded by family in a place that is warm and comfortable so they may spend their last days with dignity and respect.  The cost is around $300 per day per patient.  We are raising money so we can continue to pay for these patients.  During a patients last days we do not want them to be burdened with debt.  This project began in 2023 with 16 patients.  In 2024 we had 42 patients use our hospice rooms.  In 2025 we project more than 80 patients will use our hospice rooms.
