The MyMichigan Health Foundation Charity Golf Classic brought together community members, businesses and organizations for a successful day of golf and philanthropy. Twenty-nine teams participated in this year’s outing, raising $40,000 to fund a new laparoscopic surgical system at MyMichigan Medical Center Tawas.
