Baylor Health Care System Foundation President Robin Robinson usually shaves off his summer beard at the end of August. But evidently he’s been just too dang busy to apply blade to whiskers.
On Wednesday, September 21, Robin’s smile shown through the facial hair as he received a simply lovely $145,000 check from Steve Folsom and Matt Bryan at the Crescent Club.
The check was the result of the May 16th Lee Jarmon Pro Am Golf Tournament at Gleneagles Country Club that Steve and Matt had co-chaired. On hand for the presentation were Baylor neuropsychologist Dr. Kimberly Doyle, tournament committee member Dave Howe, tournament staffers Elisa Stephens and Stacey Stephens and Baylor Foundation’s Jennifer Huntsberry, Susan McSherry, Angela Randall and Tim Moore.
While it was the 28th anniversary of the tournament, it was the first year that the Baylor Foundation had been selected as a third-party beneficiary.
The funds will be used to support the Baylor AT&T Memory Center. And it seemed so fitting, since the tournament was named in honor of the late businessman/auto dealer Lee Jarmon, who “was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in the 1980’s.” The battle came to an end with Lee’s death on July 10, 1997 at the age of 81.
