Teeing Up for a Cause: Frontier Toyota Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital Golf Classic

For more than 50 years, Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital has been at the heart of healthcare in the Santa Clarita Valley, providing lifesaving care close to home for a community that continues to grow. This month, that mission takes center stage in one of the most anticipated local events of the year.
The Annual Frontier Toyota / Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital Golf Classic returns on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at the beautiful Valencia Country Club—and it’s more than just a day on the greens. It’s a powerful show of community, generosity, and impact.
Proceeds from the tournament will benefit Emergency and Trauma Services—the true front door of the hospital. These are the moments that matter most: accidents, sudden illness, critical emergencies—when seconds count and expert care must be immediate. Supporting these services ensures Henry Mayo’s teams have the advanced technology, training, and resources needed to be ready 24/7, 365 days a year.
And while the mission is serious, the day itself is anything but ordinary.
From specialty food and beverage holes to interactive games and unforgettable on-course experiences, the Golf Classic has earned its reputation as one of Santa Clarita’s most fun and engaging tournaments. It’s where business leaders, community partners, and friends come together—building connections while making a real difference.
This year’s event is led by three dedicated co-chairs who bring both professional expertise and a deep passion for patient care: Robert Jack Casey MD, Medical Director of Emergency Services; Louie Marc Contreras MD, Chief of Staff; and Jason Groshart, Vice President of Healthcare at Bernards.
Foundation President, Marlee Lauffer shares, “Our three co-chairs represent the very best of Henry Mayo and our community. Their leadership and commitment to this event reflect a shared passion for ensuring that every patient who comes through our Emergency Department receives the highest level of care. We are so grateful for their dedication—and for the generous support of our sponsors who make this possible.”
This incredible day would not be possible without the support of our sponsors. A heartfelt thank you to Frontier Toyota, our Title Sponsor, and Comfort Keepers In-Home Care, our Presenting Sponsor, for their leadership and commitment to our community.
We are also grateful for the support of Bernards (Tee Prize Sponsor), The Ullman Foundation (Reception Sponsor), Tower Imaging Valencia (Awards Sponsor), and Newhall Escrow (Volunteer Sponsor).
Special recognition goes to our Major Sponsors, whose continued partnership helps elevate this event year after year: Facey Medical Group, Henry Mayo Emergency Physicians and Advanced Providers, Peterson Printing, Santa Clarita Magazine, Sodexo Inc. & Affiliates, Signal Multimedia, and UVDI.
Together, this community of supporters ensures that when an emergency happens—whether it’s a neighbor, a friend, or a loved one—Henry Mayo is ready.
Because at the end of the day, this tournament isn’t just about golf.
It’s about saving lives.
