Rojas 12th Annual Memorial Golf Tourney Set for September

The Twelfth Annual Dr. Gil & Lyda Rojas Memorial Golf Tournament to benefit the Putnam Hospital Center Foundation will be held on Monday, September 27, at the Mahopac Golf Club.

The tournament is being held in memory of Dr. Gilberto Rojas, a member of the hospital’s original medical staff who was an active general surgeon for 28 years, and his wife, Lyda, who worked to erect a nondenominational chapel at the hospital offering a place of solace and prayer. Their legacy of medical care and charitable works continue through support of this annual tournament. Proceeds from this year’s golf tournament will support the hospital’s master facilities plan that includes the new five-story patient tower housing PHC’s new cancer center including radiation therapy, hospital/ community use conference center, physicians’ offices and private patient rooms; renovation of 20,000 square feet of existing space to centralize services and enhance clinical programs; and the creation of additional parking spaces..

The Rojas Family is the lead sponsor of the golf tournament, which is set to begin with registration from 10 to 11:30am, followed by a shotgun start at 12:30pm. Lunch will be provided and cold drinks will be available on the course throughout the tournament. During the day, there will be a hole-in-one contest and competitions for longest drive and closet to the pin. Following golf, there will be a dinner reception/awards ceremony, with raffles and door prizes.
