Annual Merv LaFaille Golf Classic

The generosity of our committee, participants, sponsors, and donors enabled us to raise nearly $100,000 for patients and families in Alameda and Contra Costa counties! These funds will be put to work locally to cover respite care, much-needed medical equipment and nutrition, funeral expenses, and other kinds of critical support for those who cannot otherwise afford to cover these costs. We will continue to offer compassionate care at home to everyone—including our neediest patients—regardless of their ability to pay. For more information about our 2011 Golf Classic, please call 510-450-8521 or e-mail.
