Ocean Pines, MD – October 18, 2024– The Michael J. Strawley, Sr. Memorial Golf Tournament Committee presented a check for $15,000 to Coastal Hospice for the support of charitable care at the Macky & Pam Stansell House in Ocean Pines, MD. The tournament has donated its proceeds to the organization since 2017, and the $15,000 raised in 2024 contributes to over $78,500 raised over the years.
The 8th Annual Michael J. Strawley, Sr. Memorial Golf Tournament was held at the River Run Golf Club in Berlin, MD on Monday, September 23, 2024, with an overwhelming participation of 134 golfers. Originally called the Bearded Clam Open, the tournament began in the early 1980s and was run by the late Michael J. Strawley, Sr., who then owned the Bearded Clam in Ocean City, MD. Upon Michael’s passing, in September 2016, the tournament was renamed in his honor by the Tuesday Golf Group, who’s tournament committee members are George McKelvie, Richard Stone, and Steve Silverman. At this year’s event, the late Rick Cole was recognized for his past contributions.
We are so proud of our community for their commitment and dedication, which allows us to continue fulfilling our mission and serve our patients and caregivers in our communities each year.
