OMC’s Croquet Field Day Is Sunday

This Sunday (July 19th), OMC Regional Foundation again will host the Croquet Field Day! event in support of women’s health services at Olmsted Medical Center. Since it debuted in 2010, this annual event has raised more than $150,000.

This unique event, an amateur croquet tournament, will be held at Rochester Golf and Country Club on Sunday afternoon, following a buffet brunch in the clubhouse.

The tournament welcomes novice and experienced amateur players. All teams will play for one non-cash grand prize. The $150 team entry fee admits two players to the pre-tournament brunch buffet, registers them as an event team, and provides a picnic-style lunch.
