Prince Frederick, MD โ€“ Calvert Hospice received a generous donation of $6,000 from the 15th annual Michael D. Schrodel Golf Classic held on July 20. The golf tournament was started 15 years ago by one of Michaelโ€™s fraternity brothers, Eric Dorman, and his widow Teresa Schrodel. The pair organized the event until this year when Teresa and Michaelโ€™s daughter Carmen took the reins. It was a successful event, boasting 22 teams, a putting contest, a hole in one contest, a silent auction with 30 items (including a Redskinsโ€™ helmet, gift certificate from Chesapeake Grille & Deli, and jewelry from Maertens Fine Jewelry & Gifts), and a double-your-money hole contest. Participants even had the opportunity to win a new Land Rover, although no one was successful this year!

Carmen received valuable help from her sorority, Tri Sigma; her sisters donated money and several came to help at the event. Many of Michaelโ€™s Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity brothers came to the event, a moving tribute to his memory.

Calvert Hospice is so thankful for the generosity of all who attended the Golf Classic and for the continued support of Teresa and Carmen Schrodel.
