The Grande Ronde Hospital Foundation proudly hosted its 2025 Golf Scramble on Sept. 6, marking more than three decades of golf, fun and philanthropy in Union County. Each year, this event brings together community members, local businesses and friends of the Foundation for a day of friendly competition and support for local health care.

Putting contest winners were Arlee Anderson in first place, winning a Blackstone Griddle, and Peter Benjamin, winning a $100 Hines Meat gift card.

For a touch of fun, the Loveland Funeral Chapel's "Dead Last" Award, the Best Dressed Award and the GRH Foundation's Spirit Award were presented to some very deserving participants.

The Foundation extends a heartfelt thank-you to every golfer, sponsor and supporter who made this year's scramble a success. A very special thank-you goes to our title sponsors, Admiral Beverage Pepsi Cola of Eastern Oregon and Tri-County Equipment.

For over 30 years, the GRH Foundation Golf Scramble has been a community tradition. Funds raised help strengthen the Foundation's mission of supporting health care services close to home—ensuring quality care for generations to come.
