Mount Desert Island (MDI) Hospital and Bar Harbor Bank & Trust proudly announce the 30th Annual David R. Harding Memorial Golf Tournament to be held on September 28th at Kebo Valley Golf Club.
The David R Harding Memorial Golf Tournament has been a signature event for Bar Harbor Bank & Trust, bringing together businesses and golfers from MDI and beyond to support many local organizations throughout the years. David Harding, for whom the tournament is named, was Chairman of the Board of Bar Harbor Bankshares for many years. Dave was a strong community supporter who was instrumental in launching the MDI YMCA. He loved golfing, and he loved Kebo.
In 2021, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust selected Mount Desert Island Hospital as the beneficiary for the tournament. Bar Harbor Bank & Trust and Mount Desert Island Hospital raised $15,000 to support the funding of a new MRI machine for the hospital. In 2022, recognizing its vital services to our community, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust selected Mount Desert Island Hospital to manage the tournament and be the primary beneficiary going forward, that year raising over $31,000. Bar Harbor Bank & Trust continues to support as the presenting sponsor, and its employees volunteer their time to help organize and staff the event.
“We are delighted to come together with Bar Harbor Bank & Trust again for the 30th Annual David R. Harding Memorial Golf Tournament,” said Chrissi Maguire, President/CEO of MDI Hospital, “This event pays homage to a remarkable individual, but also showcases the incredible spirit of our community and the businesses here. I look forward to a day of friendly competition and a shared commitment to supporting our mission to deliver the highest quality of care to the people of MDI.”
Curtis Simard, President and CEO at Bar Harbor Bank & Trust says of the beloved tournament, “Bar Harbor Bank & Trust is thrilled to be the Presenting Sponsor of the 30th Annual David R. Harding Memorial Golf Tournament with proceeds to benefit MDI Hospital. We have been a steadfast supporter of the Hospital for well over a century and the tournament is a way for dozens of friends to enjoy an afternoon of golf, while also raising critical funds to advance quality healthcare in our community.”
