TimberTech Championship makes $400,000 donation to Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute
BOCA RATON — For the second consecutive year, the TimberTech Championship made a $400,000 donation to the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation. The presentation was made Tuesday at the Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute, part of the Boca Raton Regional Hospital.The TimberTech Championship, a PGA Tour Champions event held last November, matched the $400,000 it donated to the Boca Raton Regional Hospital last year despite temporarily moving the tournament. The TimberTech Championship was shifted from its normal site, Broken Sound Club’s Old Course, to Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club while the Old Course was renovated by Hall of Fame architect Rees Jones.
“At TimberTech/AZEK, developing relationships and positively impacting the communities in which we operate and serve are core to who we are,” said Amanda Cimaglia, Vice President, ESG & Corporate Affairs for The AZEK Company, parent company of TimberTech.
“Through the TimberTech Championship and the donations made, we aim to make a meaningful impact on the people and communities of Boca Raton, creating a healthier, brighter and more sustainable future for all.”
The donation to the hospital was part of the more than $527,000 given to nonprofits this year from the Championship. Overall, the TimberTech Championship has donated more than $3 million to the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation.
“We are proud of what we have raised for the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation and other local charities,” said Ken Kennerly, Co-Executive Director of the TimberTech Championship and former executive director of the Honda Classic. “We are very excited about the future of the tournament and our continued partnership with the Boca Raton Regional Hospital.”
Most of the $3 million received from the TimberTech Championship has been directed to the Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute, part of the Boca Raton Regional Hospital. The institute, which opened in 2015, serves 65,000 women a year.
“It’s all about having a health-care system that is strong and able to serve everybody who needs it,” said Mark Larkin, president of the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation. “The TimberTech Championship not only has raised more than $3 million for our hospital, it also has raised awareness about what we do for our community.”
This year’s TimberTech Championship will be held Nov. 3-5 at the Old Course as the second event in the Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs. The top 54 players on the CSC points list are eligible.
