The ninth annual EagleBank Foundation Fight Against Breast Cancer
Golf Classic, held on October 14, 2013, at the Trump National Golf
Club, raised over $300,000. Proceeds from this event continue to
support research and outreach programs through partnerships with
the following local hospitals and organizations: Shady Grove
Adventist Hospital and Suburban Hospital in Montgomery County, MD,
and Providence Hospital and Washington Hospital Center in
Washington, DC. Other beneficiaries include The Children's Inn at
The National Institutes of Health, Men Against Breast Cancer, the
Primary Care Coalition of Montgomery County, the Wellness
Community, Lolly's Locks, Hope Connections for Cancer Support,
Critters for the Cure and The Breast Cancer Research
Foundation.
Since the first golf tournament in 2005, the Foundation has
raised over $1,650,000 for the benefit of local area hospitals and
organizations in their fight against breast cancer. These
funds have enabled local hospitals and other cancer-focused
organizations in our community to continue ongoing research and
provide support services—all dedicated to putting an end to breast
cancer.
"Breast cancer is an issue that touches nearly everyone – we all
know someone who has been affected by this disease," commented Don
Rogers (of Shulman, Rogers, Gandal, Pordy & Ecker, P.A.), a
Director of EagleBank and the Chairman of the EagleBank
Foundation. "We are so grateful for the tremendous generosity
of our sponsors, players, contributors and volunteers, who, year
after year, have helped make this tournament such a
success. Their participation has been crucial in assisting us
in accomplishing our fundraising goals. By providing this
much-needed funding for research at these well-deserving local
hospitals, we are hopeful that our efforts will play a role in the
prevention and a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime."
"Raising public awareness for breast cancer is so critical, as
more and more women each day are diagnosed with breast cancer,"
commented EagleBank's Chairman and CEO Ron Paul. "As a local,
business bank, it is extremely important to us to be good corporate
citizens—it is part of our daily mission. Our golf tournament
is one of the ways that we give back to our community. Because
of the generous donations of individuals and corporations for these
past nine years—and the passion and hard work of our Committee
members and everyone else involved in organizing this tournament—we
have been able to raise substantial funds to help fight the
devastating effects that breast cancer has on all who are touched
by it. We are thankful to everyone for their continued support
of our efforts to save more lives and help with the fight against
this disease."
