The 5th Annual Gateway to the Cure Golf Classic was held on Friday, September 22, at Maple Run Golf Course in Thurmont, and was another great success.
This year’s Classic attracted over 100 golfers and a wide range of sponsors. Golfers assembled at Maple Run, starting at 7:30 a.m., with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. Many thanks to Jeff Barber and his amazing staff at Maple Run for hosting this great event. Appreciation goes out to all the golfers, sponsors, and supporters! Thurmont stands head and shoulders above every other community in Frederick County when it comes to supporting cancer research and patient services through the Patty Hurwitz Breast Cancer Fund at Frederick Health.
Thurmont Commissioner Wayne Hooper, Maple Run owner Jeff Barber, and Vickie Grinder, Thurmont’s Economic Development administrator.
For the month of October, the Town of Thurmont sponsored a “Think Pink” fundraising campaign, during which many businesses and residents contributed to the Patty Hurwitz Breast Cancer Fund at Frederick Memorial Hospital. “Think Pink” resulted in an impressive response. Through the cooperation of residents and businesses in Thurmont, the Town of Thurmont presented the Patty Hurwitz Fund at Frederick Memorial Hospital with a check for $5,287.10 at the town’s November 18, 2014, meeting.
