MANCHESTER, NH — The 17th Annual Elliot Hospital Golf Classic was held June 9 at Passaconaway Country Club in Litchfield. This sold-out event exceeded its fundraising goal by grossing over $138,000, an all-time Elliot record, to benefit multiple pediatric and cancer care improvements across Elliot Health System.

The winning foursome from Winbrook was comprised of James Goddard, George Pervanos, Rodney McQuate and Don Shuffleton. The second-place foursome from Workplace Benefit Solutions was comprised of David Larrivee, MJ Larrivee, Jim Hood, and Don Curry.

Cancer care improvements via the tournament proceeds include new tumor mapping technology, “breath hold” technology, new linear accelerators for enhanced tumor detection and treatment, as well as planning for a new major cancer center. Pediatric improvements include a newborn patient simulator, a new iBirth application for expecting parents and new HD TVs for pediatric in-patient rooms.


The Mary & John Elliot Charitable Foundation is a non-profit, charitable organization created to provide financial support to the various needs of the Elliot Health System (also a non-profit charitable organization). The Foundation is committed to building an ongoing circle of friends whose financial support will help Elliot Health System identify and meet emerging healthcare needs.
