Thank you for joining us at the 2026 Penny Jones Open
Thank you for joining us at the 2026 Penny Jones Open golf tournament.
We appreciate our morning teams who elected to “accept the elements as just another variation of the game,” as said by the great Jack Nicklaus. And we were thankful that the rain subsided for our afternoon flight. Please take a moment to share your feedback here so we can ensure another great tournament when we come together again on Fri., Sept. 10, 2027.
Our congratulations to all of this year’s winners! If your name appears below, we will contact you this week regarding your prize.

SUPPORT OUTSTANDING HEART CARE CLOSE TO HOME
Over one year ago, LMH Health Foundation launched the Heart Center Expansion and Renovation campaign. With an estimated comprehensive cost of approximately $25 million, the campaign is one of the Foundation’s most ambitious initiatives.
“Your partnership, through events like the Penny Jones Open will support the success of the Heart Center and ensure we can continue to be here for our families, friends, neighbors, and coworkers throughout Douglas County and beyond,” said Rebecca Smith, executive director of LMH Health Foundation.
An expanded and renovated LMH Health Heart Center will reduce wait times for urgent and scheduled procedures, improve capacity to handle multiple emergencies simultaneously, increase access to new services like electrophysiology and expanded vascular care and expand the number of cath lab procedure rooms.
Thank you – Hearts of Gold Gala
LMH Health Foundation’s 2026 Hearts of Gold gala was a magnificent evening of celebrating all that we cherish – and hope for – at our community hospital. Thanks to the tremendous generosity of our guests and supporters, we raised more than $500,000 toward the expansion and innovation of the LMH Health Heart Center. We are grateful to our wonderful sponsors who supported this meaningful event.
