Both receptions are sponsored by Masimo Corporation, provider of innovative noninvasive monitoring technologies.
“Since its inception, this golf tournament has proven to be a wonderful celebration of all the ERHF has been able to accomplish and a time to dream about what the future will hold as we continue to labor on mission for the lives of children here and abroad,” stated Jason Smith, co-founder of Emerson Rose Heart Foundation. “It is once again a privilege to have Bi-Lo as our title sponsor and we are extremely excited about this year’s event.”
