RVU Joins Denver Osteopathic Foundation for 7th Annual Golf Tournament Supporting Medical Student Scholarships
The Denver Osteopathic Foundation held its 7th Annual Golf Tournament on June 23, 2025, at The Golf Club at Bear Dance in Larkspur, Colorado. This highly anticipated event brought together teams of faculty, staff, healthcare professionals, and community members for a day of friendly competition and shared purpose: supporting the next generation of osteopathic physicians.
A Day on the Green for a Great Cause
The tournament featured an 18-hole scramble, best ball format with 21 foursome teams. RVU was proud to serve as one of the tournament sponsors, joining other key partners including OnPoint Medical Group, Health Images, the Colorado Chapter of the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians, the Colorado Society of Osteopathic Medicine, and Dr. Julian Gershon, DO.
The day began with an 8:00 a.m. tee-off and featured mini competitions throughout the course, such as the longest drive, closest to the pin, a putting contest, and a hole-in-one challenge. Following tournament play, participants gathered for lunch and an awards banquet, where winners of the mini games, raffle prizes, and the top three teams were announced and celebrated.
Investing in Future Physicians
Julie Collett, Executive Director of the Denver Osteopathic Foundation, shared her appreciation saying, “A heartfelt thank you to everyone who was a part of our 7th Annual Golf Tournament! It was a beautiful day filled with great company, community spirit, and a shared commitment to making a difference in osteopathic medical education. We couldn’t have done it without your support!”
Proceeds from the event go directly toward scholarships for medical students at RVU, in alignment with the Foundation’s mission to advance the health and well-being of the community while supporting osteopathic medicine. RVU is grateful to be part of this ongoing tradition of service and collaboration in support of future healthcare leaders.
