Events

At the St. John’s ICARE Foundation, we are very active in our community.
We use every opportunity to bring awareness and support for Episcopal Health Services
and St. John’s Episcopal Hospital through community and signature events.

Whether it’s the St. John’s Invitational Golf Tournament or the Community and Back-to-School Wellness Event, St. John’s ICARE Foundation team members, supporters and volunteers are always taking part in an event or activity to help our patients and community as they travel on the path to wellness.

Signature Events
The St. John’s ICARE Foundation hosts signature events throughout the year with the goal of overall fundraising. In addition to engaging with our supporters, we raise awareness about Foundation programs and Hospital services and collaborate with local businesses.

St. John’s Invitational Golf Tournament
The Invitational Golf Tournament is a fantastic day filled with 18 holes of golf at one of Long Island’s finest and exclusive golf clubs. Players can expect to enjoy games, contests, brunch, and a BBQ on the course, as well as dinner and cocktails. The event program is filled with raffle baskets and awards. Many sponsorship opportunities are available.
