High Sierra’s Pro Series 28 inch Drop-Bottom Wheeled Duffel is a great weekend travel piece year round.

“We are committed to provide a long-standing support of the hospital and the services it provides to the patients and families,” said Hank Bernbaum, president of High Sierra and committee member of the Pro Am’s Men’s Golf Committee.

The event is expected to bring in more than 200 business leaders and golf enthusiasts along with golf professionals from 50 of the top-rated, most prestigious country clubs in the nation. Proceeds from the 48th Annual Pro Amateur Golf Championship will support a five-year, $10 million commitment made by the Founders’ Board to the hospital’s Department of Family Services.
