The 35th Annual HK’s Tournament Pairing Party with Chase Daniels

Image
It's almost time for the 35th Annual HK's Benefit Golf Tournament !!!  This is a great event to help raise funds for our local nonprofit Lake Regional Hospital . In the early 1970s, the closest hospital to the Lake Area was approximately 50 miles away and a group of community-minded residents knew the growing population needed their own local hospital.  Harold Koplar, founder of The Lodge of the Four Seasons, helped organize the HK's Annual Hospital Benefit Tournament to aid in the funding of the Lake of the Ozarks General Hospital, later renamed Lake Regional Hospital.   This event has grown over the years and has a major impact in the expansion of Lake Regional Hospital.  This year, the funds raised at the event will help expand the Sleep Medicine program by adding two rooms and purchasing the latest technology for monitoring sleep patterns and equipment for home studies. Although registration is closed, you can still help the cause by attending the Pairing...
