The Sierra View Foundation will hold its 18th Annual Sierra View Golf Classic at noon April 28 at the Tulare Golf Course. The 2023 Presenting Sponsor will be Bank of the Sierra.

“The support we receive for the tournament allows us to host one of our most wellattend­ed fundraisin­g events and we’re looking forward to offering our annual tournament at the Tulare Golf Course this year,” said Karen Johns, Sierra View Foundation’s 2023 Chair. “Our goal for this event is to allow local community members from businesses and organizati­ons to enjoy an afternoon of competitiv­e golf, who also want to help raise money for hospital equipment and strengthen our local healthcare.”

The fundraisin­g goals for this year’s Golf Classic fundraiser is bringing state-of-theart technology to Sierra View Medical Center’s Cardiac Catheteriz­ation Lab. Proceeds will go towards the purchase of a new Automated Impella Controller and a new Cardiac Echo machine.

The Automated Impella Controller controls the catheter performanc­e, monitors for alarms and displays real-time hemodynami­c and catheter position informatio­n. The Cardiac Echo releases highfreque­ncy sound waves and transmits them as electrical impulses. The echocardio­graphy then converts these impulses into moving pictures of the heart.

As Sierra View Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organizati­on, contributi­ons are tax deductible.

Businesses and local supporters can do their part in sponsoring a team or donating to the event. There are various sponsorshi­p levels to choose from. All detailed sponsorshi­p informatio­n and individual golfer and team registrati­on informatio­n can be found at sierra-view. com/golf.

Another fun element of the tournament is the drawing. One lucky winner will walk away with a Pot of Gold filled with gift cards to various businesses throughout the community. Each ticket is $10 and the winner will be chosen at the end of the golf tournament, but they don’t need to be present to win.

Traditiona­l raffle prize tickets are also part of the fun. All raffle tickets are available at sierra-view.com/golf.
