Annual Val Matteotti Italian Open



The 29th Annual Val Matteotti Italian Open was once again a wonderful day of golf, fun in the sun, and raising money for our community!

On August 14th, golfers, sponsors, and volunteers joined the CRHF staff at the Lethbridge Country Club for the 29th Annual Val Matteotti Italian to support of a great cause.
 
Named after prominent philanthropists Val and Flora Matteotti, the event is known as one of the most distinguished and one-of-a-kind golf tournaments in Southern Alberta.

Over the past 29 years, the annual golf tournament has raised a total of about $1.7 million, which will fund life-saving healthcare and the greatest needs of the Chinook Regional Hospital.
 
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the incredible donors, sponsors, golfers, volunteers,
spectators and supporters who helped make the tournament so successful.


Together we can make a difference in our community!

About Val Matteotti Italian Open

Now in its 29th year, the Val Matteotti Italian Open was inspired by a unique idea…an appreciation for Italian food, a love for golf, and a belief in the importance of giving back to healthcare in our community. Named after prominent philanthropists Val and Flora Matteotti, the event is known as one of the most distinguished and one-of-a-kind golf tournaments offered in Southern Alberta. To date, it has raised over $1.7 million for the Chinook Regional Hospital Foundation, supporting state-of-the-art equipment purchases, special projects and programs.

Giving Tuesday 2024

This year on Giving Tuesday we wanted to spotlight one of our donors, Rhonda Fletcher 

Longtime supporters of the CRH Foundation, we spoke to Rhonda about her family's first-hand experience and the importance of giving back.

"We've had family members and many friends who have needed the support of the CRH for physical and mental health and if it wasn't for the foundation and the hospital, they wouldn't be here today."

As an Analyst for AHS, Rhonda has worked in the healthcare world for many years and is an incredible advocate for mental health and patient care which is why each year the A & M Fletcher Family Fund donates to support the in-patient psychiatry unit at Chinook Regional Hospital, including funding renovations, equipment, as well as patient needs.
