Pro Am Golf Tournament

Thank you for supporting the Ellis Medicine Pro-Am Golf Tournament on Monday, June 15, 2026!

The Ellis Pro-Am Golf Tournament returns to the beautiful Mohawk Golf Club in Schenectady and offers professional play for every foursome. Your foursome will be matched for 18 holes of golf with a PGA professional if you are playing in the afternoon flight.

The event also offers a Morning Flight option for golfers, with foursomes not accompanied by a PGA professional.

The Pro-Am Golf Tournament carries on the Ellis tradition of great golf for a great cause. Proceeds support Ellis Medicine’s lifesaving programs, helping us provide advanced care, upgrade equipment, and improve health outcomes for our entire community.

For more information, please call the Foundation office at 518-243-4600.

Happy Hour for Healthcare

POSTPONED
Due to the incoming winter weather, we are unfortunately postponing this event. Stay tuned for an updated date once rescheduled.

Enjoy a casual evening to benefit Ellis Medicine’s Patient Closet through drink sales and clothing donations. Stella Pasta Bar & Bistro is donating $1 for every drink sold during the event!

A sudden illness, accident, or fall can leave patients arriving with only the clothes they’re wearing. The Patient Closet provides clean, comfortable clothing when needed so patients can be discharged with dignity.

We’re working to restock the closet with sweatpants, shirts, socks, and undergarments. Your drink purchase or clothing donation directly supports patients in need.

We look forward to seeing you there!
