bankESB Sponsors Cooley Dickinson Hospital’s Golf FORE Health Tournament with $10,000 Contribution
bankESB is proud to announce its $10,000 sponsorship of Cooley Dickinson Hospital’s annual Golf FORE Health Tournament, a premier fundraising event that supports vital healthcare programs and services for the community.
The Golf FORE Health Tournament, which was held on September 16th at The Ranch Golf Club in Southwick, MA, brought together local businesses, community leaders, and supporters for a day of golf, camaraderie, and philanthropy. Proceeds from the event directly benefit Cooley Dickinson Hospital, helping to ensure patients in Hampshire and surrounding counties have access to high-quality, compassionate care.
“Supporting organizations like Cooley Dickinson Hospital is one of the most meaningful ways we can give back,” said Matthew S. Sosik, president and CEO of bankESB. “Healthcare touches every family, and we are honored to play a role in helping the hospital continue its mission of delivering excellent care to our neighbors.”
This year’s Golf FORE Health Tournament funded programs that enhance patient services, expand access to advanced treatments, and strengthen Cooley Dickinson’s commitment to community health and wellness.
“We are honored to share our gratitude to bankESB for their platinum sponsorship of our 2025 Cooley Dickinson Golf FORE Health tournament,” expressed Diane Dukette, chief development officer, Cooley Dickinson Hospital. “Proceeds from this year’s tournament benefitted the expansion and renovation of our Emergency Department, helping us to provide high quality, compassionate care for you and the people you love.” Dukette continued, “bankESB was one of the earliest supporters of the Emergency Department campaign with their $500,000 Community Challenge and their continued support is a strong declaration of their commitment to the health of our shared community.”
Through the bank’s community giving initiative, The Giving Tree, this sponsorship reflects bankESB’s ongoing dedication to community giving, with a focus on organizations that improve quality of life across western Massachusetts.
