More than 200 supporters gathered on May 6, 2026, for The Cooper Foundation’s 6th Annual Cooper Cup Golf Outing at Ramblewood Country Club in Mount Laurel, New Jersey for a day of camaraderie, competition, and purpose.
The sold-out event brought together corporate partners, community leaders, and longtime supporters around a shared goal: advancing care for communities across South Jersey through Cooper University Health Care. Together, participants helped raise $250,000 to support programs that touch every part of the patient experience—from critical care and research to the teams who deliver care every day.

“This year’s outing is about more than a day on the course—it’s about supporting the people behind the care,” said Philip A. Norcross, chairman of The Cooper Foundation Board of Trustees. “We’re proud that a portion of the proceeds will directly support our nursing team—helping expand access to education, strengthen professional growth, and ensure our nurses have the support they need to be there for patients and families when it matters most.”
“We appreciate the dedicated community of supporters who believe in our mission and supported this event that will benefit the patients and communities we serve,” said Kevin O’Dowd, co-CEO of Cooper University Health Care.
“I’m always struck by the energy and generosity this event brings out to make sure our teams have what they need to continue delivering advanced care to our patients,” said Anthony J. Mazzarelli, MD, JD, MBE, co-CEO of Cooper University Health Care.
“What makes the Cooper Cup so meaningful is how it brings people together around a shared purpose—and turns that energy into real support for our patients and care teams,” added Lisa Morina, senior vice president and chief philanthropy officer at The Cooper Foundation.
The Cooper Foundation extends its sincere thanks to Torcon/P. Agnes Joint Venture, GHR Healthcare, and Pure PM for their continued partnership and commitment to advancing health care in South Jersey.
