The 6th Annual St. Francis Foundation Golf Classic was held at Bayou DeSiard Country Club on Friday, April 28, with classic sponsor What You Give Will Grow Foundation and Thomas Morstead, New Orleans Saints Punter. The tournament was a sell-out again this year with 24 teams playing golf, along with business support from over 60 companies at various levels of giving. The event included a pre-tournament reception with silent auction on Thursday evening at the home of Dr. Rolf and Katie Morstead.  All proceeds benefit the more than 2,500 women and children cared for at St. Francis Medical Center through advanced equipment for the NICU, latest technology for mammograms and breast health at the Kitty DeGree Breast Health Center, physicals and immunizations for Monroe City School children and support of the partnership between St. Francis Pediatrics and Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital to improve the overall health of children in Louisiana.  Thank you to all sponsors and participants for helping St. Francis continue fulfilling our mission of caring for those most in need.
