We were honored to sponsor the 16th Annual Holy Cross Health Golf Classic, presented by The Harry T. Mangurian, Jr. Foundation, an impactful annual event supporting women’s health initiatives through Holy Cross Health. The tournament, chaired by Sheri Whittington, brought together community leaders, healthcare advocates, and philanthropic partners united by a shared mission of advancing access to lifesaving breast care.
BLU by ThriveWellTM members proudly participated in the tournament, representing our BLU community. Their involvement highlighted the importance of showing up in meaningful ways to support local health initiatives that directly impact lives.
The Holy Cross Health Golf Classic supports the Partners in Breast Health program and the Dorothy Mangurian Comprehensive Women’s Center, programs dedicated to providing breast health services to uninsured and underserved women. Since its inception, Partners in Breast Health has helped bridge critical gaps in care by offering outreach education, clinical breast exams, screening mammograms, and diagnostic services to women who may otherwise lack access to essential healthcare.
During the event, Pierre Monice, President and CEO of Holy Cross Health, introduced Gordon L. Chen, MD, Chief Executive Officer of BLU and Board-certified Cardiologist and Internal Medicine physician. Dr. Chen addressed attendees with a brief message of gratitude and purpose, sharing why BLU was honored to be a sponsor of the tournament and support Holy Cross Health’s mission.
