27th Annual Golf Tournament to Support Residents in Need

Friday, June 6, Carroll Lutheran Village is hosting its 27th Annual Golf Tournament at the Links at Gettysburg. The event brings together friends, supporters and sponsors for a fun day on the fairways—supporting CLV’s Benevolent Care Fund.

CLV’s Benevolent Care Fund helps ensure residents who have outlived their financial resources continue to live with dignity, comfort and care. The steady rise of long-term care costs, which are projected to increase more than 66% over the next decade, according to Genworth Financial’s Cost of Care Survey 2023, reinforces the importance of benevolent care funds in supporting older adults.

As a non-profit organization, our mission is to ensure residents can remain in their homes, surrounded by the community they cherish, without the stress of having to move due to financial hardship at no fault of their own. “One of the ways we fulfill this mission is by hosting fundraising events like CLV’s Golf Tournament, where sponsorships play a crucial role in supporting our residents,” said Emily McCoy Bish, CLV’s director of philanthropy.

Sponsoring CLV’s golf tournament is more than business promotion—it’s a statement of compassion and community support. Many sponsorship packages include teams of up to 4 golfers – a great team-building opportunity, social media and website recognition, complimentary breakfast and lunch, event swag bags and more.
“When you support CLV’s golf tournament,” said Dave Bollinger, annual golf tournament chair for over two decades, “you are our partner in caring for residents whose finances do not cover the full cost of the services they deserve.”

Thanks to the community’s generosity, the golf tournament has raised more than $1.8 million over the years. This year’s goal is to net $100 thousand—an ambitious goal that builds on the momentum of last year’s event, which surpassed its $90 thousand goal by more than $10 thousand. The continued generosity of sponsors and players helps ensure the Benevolent Care Fund can support more residents in the year ahead.

Now in its 27th year, the tournament continues to grow thanks to the generosity of sponsors—some of whom have stood by CLV’s mission for many years.

“As a sponsor since 2018, Right at Home In-Home Care & Assistance is honored to be part of a great event with such an impactful mission,” said Right at Home Community Relations Director, Lauren Hickey, “It’s a fun day of fellowship with other organizations collaborating for an important charitable cause, and we enjoy it every year!”
