Lake Taylor Transitional Care Hospital’s Annual ‘Tee-Off for Tots Tournament” Proves to be Another Success

Over $20,000 raised to benefit Lake Taylor’s pediatric unit;
To date, more than $632,000 has been raised through this annual fundraiser

(Norfolk, VA) –Twenty-four (24) foursomes (just under 100 golfers) representing physicians, administrators, hospital volunteers, community leaders and sponsors, gathered on June 10 for Lake Taylor’s annual “Tee-Off for Tots” golf tournament. Sponsored by the Hospital Auxiliary, more than $20,000 was raised through sponsorships, player teams, raffles and the silent auction to benefit Lake Taylor Transitional Care Hospital’s pediatric unit.

The golf tournament was held at Sewell’s Point Golf Club in Norfolk, and began with a shot-gun tee-off with golfers finishing the day with dinner and an awards ceremony. Golfers also had an opportunity to participate in raffle drawings and bid on items in a silent auction.

“Proceeds from our annual golf tournaments have helped us considerably over the years and has raised more than $632,000 to date,” said Thomas Orsini, president and CEO of Lake Taylor Transitional Care Hospital. “This year’s amount will help purchase new equipment and technology for our pediatric unit.”

“The success of this hospital depends upon the sustained assistance of caring and concerned hospital employees, volunteers and caring individuals and businesses throughout the community,” he said. 2021 corporate supporters included: Alliance Medical, premier sponsor; PF&A Design, 19th Hole Food & Fun sponsor; First Choice Nurses, beverage cart sponsor; and JC Wills & Sons, hole sponsor.

“We thank everyone involved in our annual golf tournament, with special appreciation to Tom Dozier with Sewell’s Point Golf Course MWR.”

The 2022 “Tee-Off for Tots Tournament” is already being scheduled for next year. Interested parties can find out how to get involved next year through sponsorships, donations, volunteering or organizing a foursome by calling 757.461.5001, ext. 426.

20th Anniversary Motorcycle Ride Benefits Young Hospital Patients

20th Anniversary Motorcycle Ride Benefits Young Hospital Patients

“Ride for the Children” marks 20 years of raising funds for severely health compromised children

Each year, the “Ride for the Children” benefits Lake Taylor’s pediatric unit by raising funds for much-needed medical equipment, supplies and special programs. The money generated from the Ride helps improve the quality of life for hospital children with special needs all year ‘round.

Ordinarily this annual “Ride” takes place in December, but COVID restrictions last year necessitated postponing it until restrictions allowed for an in-person event. But since 2020 would have been the 20th anniversary, the occasion was pushed-back a few months rather than cancelled.

As with past years, approximately 110 riders started out at Southside Harley-Davidson in Virginia Beach on Sunday morning, July 11. After a short ride down Virginia Beach Blvd., the riders arrived at Lake Taylor Transitional Care Hospital off Kempsville Road in Norfolk. After visiting with some of the hospital’s special children, some socializing and reminiscing, the riders were treated to a hearty breakfast of sausage gravy and biscuits, bacon, sausage and scrambled eggs—and lots of coffee and orange juice.

Tom Orsini, president and CEO of Lake Taylor gave his traditional welcome remarks and congratulated the riders for 20 amazing years persevering through rain, snow, freezing cold temperatures, road closures – and now a global pandemic. Tamera Ferguson, director of the office of volunteers, recapped the history of each year’s contribution from 2001 until now – leading up to the grand reveal of the 20-year cumulative total: $55,732.32!

Fundraising for this coming December’s ride has already begun, even with many traditional riders away for summer vacation. Proceeds from the limited edition eBike raffle ($600), pre-ride and day-of contributions ($600), and other donations, collected another $3,103.

Finally, the “Ride for the Children” chairperson, Jo Ann Emmons, was honored by NewsChannel 3 as one of its “People Taking Action.” Jo Ann was surprised by WTKR newscaster Beverly Kidd who covered the Ride, presented her with a special award and interviewed her for the Ch. 3 news.
