The tournament honors Doris Barger, founder and first president of the Mark Twain Medical Center Foundation, whose passion for advancing women&#8217;s health continues to impact generations of patients across Calaveras County. The Foundation recognizes the event as its longest-running and most popular fundraiser, with proceeds dedicated to advancing women&#8217;s health initiatives in the community.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past 19 years, funds raised through the Doris Barger Golf Outing have helped support critical women&#8217;s health services, technology, equipment, and programs that allow patients to receive care close to home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This incredible milestone reflects the generosity and commitment of our community,&#8221; said Charanjit Singh, Director of Marketing, Business Development and Philanthropy for Mark Twain Medical Center. &#8220;Every golfer, sponsor, volunteer, donor, and supporter who has participated over the years has played a role in improving healthcare for local families. Surpassing $1 million raised for women&#8217;s health is not just a fundraising achievement\u2014it&#8217;s a testament to what can happen when a community comes together to invest in the health and well-being of its neighbors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The event has become a cherished tradition throughout Calaveras County, attracting strong participation from businesses, community organizations, healthcare advocates, and residents who understand the importance of maintaining access to quality healthcare in rural communities. Over the past four years, the tournament has alternated between Greenhorn Creek Resort and The Golf Club at Copper Valley, creating a friendly rivalry between club members and the surrounding communities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mark Twain Medical Center is fortunate to have a Foundation and donor community that consistently steps forward to support our mission,&#8221; said Doug Archer, President and CEO of Mark Twain Medical Center. &#8220;The success of the Doris Barger Golf Outing demonstrates the extraordinary impact philanthropy can have on healthcare. Our Foundation, donors, sponsors, and volunteers are instrumental to the continued success of our hospital and our ability to expand services, invest in new technology, and improve care for the patients and families we serve.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Mark Twain Medical Center Foundation extends its sincere gratitude to the sponsors, golfers, donors, volunteers, and community partners whose support made this milestone possible and whose generosity continues to strengthen healthcare throughout Calaveras County.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the Mark Twain Medical Center Foundation, upcoming events, or to make a donation, visit supportmarktwain.org.
