BOCA RATON, FL (February 8, 2013) – The Allianz Championship and Boca Raton Regional Hospital (BRRH) announced that the Moabery Family Foundation (MFF) has set a new annual “champion’s challenge” for defending champions of the PGA Champions Tour’s first full-field tournament of the year. Announced at the Allianz Championships Pro-Am Draw Party filled with 400 PGA pros, sponsors, community and business leaders, and media this week, Allianz Championship Tournament Director Ryan Dillon reported that beginning with this year’s championship rounds, the MFF will launch its annual pledge to the nonprofit Boca Raton Champions Golf Charities based upon the performance of the defending champion Corey Pavin at The Old Course in Boca Raton. Funds raised by the annual MFF champion’s challenge are earmarked to benefit Boca Regional’s Toppel Family Place Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
According to MFF President Cathy Moabery, each year the MFF will donate $1,000 per birdie and $5,000 for each eagle scored by the defending champion, with a minimum gift of $10,000 per year if the golfer does not play well or withdraws for injury. In addition, if a defending champion does not play in a subsequent year, tournament management, Boca Raton Regional Hospital and the MFF will jointly choose the highest ranked player to represent the pledge.
“I had the pleasure of playing with Corey Pavin at last year’s Pro-Am that benefited the hospital, and this year, he is playing on behalf of the hospital with a great new incentive,” noted Abdol Moabery, whose son, Chase, spent three weeks in BRRH’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit after his wife Cathy gave birth. “Because Boca Raton Regional Hospital and its outstanding neonatal services are blessings to so many, Cathy and I are pleased to establish this annual championship fundraising challenge,” added Moabery, who serves as president and chief executive officer of GA Telesis.
Excited about the inaugural MFF Challenge becoming a yearly tradition, Dillon reported that “should Pavin’s 2013 stats be ‘on par’ with his championship performance last year, it could mean more than $15,000 in funds for the neonatal unit. And that would make everyone involved in the tournament — the pros, sponsors, volunteers, civic leaders and community — even more proud about what is accomplished each year on the course.”
Toppel Family Place at Boca Raton Regional Hospital offers beautifully decorated labor and delivery suites with all the comforts of home, family-centered mother/baby nursing care, lactation services, a level II neonatal intensive care unit, board-certified neonatologists on-site 24/7, maternity nurses available 24 hours a day and support groups for mom, dad and the entire family. With equipment designed for infants and a hospital staff who has special training in newborn care, the BRRH NICU is an intensive care unit created for newborns that need specialized treatment. Babies who need to go to the unit are often admitted if they’re born prematurely, have difficulties during delivery or show signs of a problem such as infection, breathing difficulties or feeding problems in the first few days of life.
