Golf fundraiser for new emergency facilities goes virtual

The Providence Saint Joseph Foundation Mario Lopez Golf Classic may have gone virtual this year due to the pandemic, but the money raised will make a very real impact to the Minutes Matter More Than Ever campaign.

COVID-19 highlighted the importance of emergency care capabilities in the local community, making the appeal for donations to the new Emergency Department and Urgent Care facility all the more imperative.

Once completed, the new state-of-the-art facilities will double the medical center’s emergency services capacity, allowing Providence Saint Joseph to better serve the needs of our community today and well into the future.

Featuring Mario Lopez, whose kids were born at Providence Saint Joseph, the appeal raised $143,800, with more anticipated as part of a year-end text-to-donate appeal.

Special thanks for supporting the effort go out to Michael Daruty, senior vice president at NBCUniversal, Steve Carlston, president and general manager at NBC4 Southern California, and Tim Howick, vice president at NBC4 Creative.
