Ruddo Golf Invitational raises $12,500 for Beebe oncology

The Michael A. Ruddo Foundation recently presented Beebe Healthcare and Beebe Medical Foundation with a check for $12,500 from the proceeds of the Michael A. Ruddo Golf Invitational held May 5.

This annual tournament is held on the Friday before Mother’s Day at the Ocean City Golf Club in Berlin, Md.

The foundation was established in memory of Michael Ruddo, who received cancer treatment at Beebe Healthcare’s Tunnell Cancer Center. The mission of the Ruddo Foundation is to raise funds for Beebe oncology services in response to the excellent and compassionate care Ruddo and his family received while he was a patient.

This support allows the clinical teams at the Tunnell Cancer Center and South Coastal Cancer Center to continue to provide the same level of care and compassion they gave Ruddo during his treatment and will provide income in perpetuity to meet the continuing needs of future patients.

Every year, Mike’s wife Mabel, her children and her grandchildren participate in playing and helping at the event.
