Rays of Hope Golf Tournament

BOGG was a proud sponsor of the 2010 Rays of Hope Golf Tournament. This event brought together men and women of all golfing abilities to support the fight against breast cancer.

Past Events:

Special Olympics Jolly Jaunt

For many years, BOGG staff have played important roles as volunteer staff for Special Olympics largest local fundraiser.  It was our very own nurses and medical assistants who revolutionzed the once cumbersome and slow registration process, so that the runners and walkers could quickly get through the registation line and start having fun!  Many BOGG family members also participate, working as greeters and just making sure that everyone has a jolly time.

Holiday Giving

For the past three years, our offices have organized around the holiday season to work with local charities, particularly those who assist families who may be in need during the holiday season. Our staff truly enjoy giving back to the community and find joy in spreading the spirit of the holiday season.

Rays of Hope Walk

2012 was our 5th year as a Rays of Hope Water Stop sponsor on the five mile route. We have been fortunate to support the walkers during this wonderful event to raise money in the fight against breast cancer, moving towards a cure. For a number of years, our practice has organized a team of walkers from our staff and their families.
