Samaritan is set to host its 2026 “Drive “FORE! A Good Cause,” the not-for-profit’s annual golf tournament presented by The Richardson Family Dealerships, on Monday, September 28, 2026, at Little Mill Country Club in Marlton. All proceeds from the event will support Samaritan’s comprehensive family of services, which benefit seriously ill patients and their families, as well as those grieving a loss.
“Each year, this tournament reminds us of the incredible generosity of our South Jersey community,” says Phillip W. Heath, president and CEO of Samaritan. “Every golfer, sponsor, and volunteer plays an important role in helping Samaritan provide compassionate care and support to patients and families when they need it most. We are especially grateful to our dedicated golf committee co-chairs, Cliff Mancine and Roy Fazio, and all the members of our golf committee who help make this event such a success year after year.”
The day will feature an 18-hole, scramble-format tournament, beginning with registration at 10 a.m., followed by an 11:15 a.m. shotgun start. The event concludes with a reception and awards dinner beginning at approximately 4:30 p.m.
Returning this year is the popular Lexus Champions for Charity, sponsored by Lexus of Cherry Hill, giving participants the exclusive opportunity to play at the famous Pebble Beach. Bidding on this auction opportunity will take place during the post-event banquet, with proxy bidding available for those who are unable to attend. Golfers can also enjoy on-course contests, sponsored by Challenge Sponsor Mancine Optical, a 50/50 raffle and more activities throughout the day.
