Professional and amateur golfers hoisted their clubs in support of Norris Cotton Cancer Center in the 21st Annual Classic Pro-Am Golf Tournament held in June at the Eastman Golf Links in Grantham, NH. Golf enthusiasts of all levels played in the full handicap, "best ball" tournament, and raised $22,500 for the Cancer Center in the process. James W. Varnum, hospital president at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, expressed appreciation for the 21-year relationship. "Our partnership with the Eastman community extends beyond the golf course to the laboratories and patient programs of the Cancer Center, helping to change the lives of cancer patients and their families throughout our region and the nation."
