West Palm Beach, FL. June 21, 2011 – Golf balls were dropping from the sky or rather a helicopter as part of the first annual Pro/Am Golf Classic to benefit Hospice of Palm Beach County’s first inpatient facility – The Jay Robert Lauer Hospice & Palliative Care Unit at JFK Medical Center. The event held at Atlantis Country Club began with a luncheon, generously sponsored by Carrabba’s Italian Grill, followed by a “copter drop,” where golf balls, purchased as a 50/50 raffle, were dropped from a helicopter onto the 10th green – the three balls closest to the hole won.
Nat Nason won first place and $500.

An awards reception with silent auction followed the tournament. Approximately $30,000 was raised for the inpatient facility.
