Rob Hamilton Memorial Golf Tournament

Rob
Hamilton died suddenly on October 7, 2005. He was a well known attorney, a
loving son, brother, husband, and most importantly a devoted father who left
behind a one year old daughter and a three year old son. Rob died of Cardiac
Sarcoidosis and like many people with this disease, sudden death occurred in
the absence of a previous cardiac event.
The Rob Hamilton Memorial Golf Tournament was created by Rob’s family,
friends and colleagues as a tribute to a man who meant so much to so
many…and still does. In his memory, the event raises funds to support the
Penn State Hershey Heart and Vascular Institute at the Penn State Hershey
Medical Center. The mission is to help ensure that patients in south central
Pennsylvania have access to the latest advances in cardiovascular disease
prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, and that awareness is raised and
research is focused on cardiac related diseases including the area of
Cardiac Sarcoidosis. |

The photos below represent how money raised by the Rob Hamilton Memorial
Golf Tournament are used.
These funds purchased CPR Training Kits which were provided to area school
districts to help educate and train faculty, staff and students on the most
recent techniques for CPR. In addition the Tournament proceeds also support the
Robert Hamilton Family Community Outreach Endowment which funds local and
regional community needs for Automated External Defibrillators, school health
education programs and other outreach activities. |
