43nd Annual Via Christi Charity Classic
Golf Tournament

Since the inception of the Charity Classic, adults and children alike have benefited from more than $5 million raised in support of Ascension Via Christi's programs and services. These beneficiaries continue to help patients in need, provide the latest healthcare technology and improve quality of life for those in our community.

This tournament is in memory Marian Girrens, the founder of the first Charity Classic in 1981. During her many years of fund raising efforts, she raised millions of dollars for countless ministries and programs of the hospital.

    • 2024 Charity Classic Beneficiary Mobile Mammography

    Ascension Via Christi has purchased a customized mobile mammography vehicle, which, once received and operational, will make 3D breast imaging screening exams available at worksites and other Wichita, Manhattan and Pittsburg-area community sites.

    The goal: Increase participation in annual breast cancer screening exams by making them more convenient and accessible and in doing so save lives through early detection and treatment.

    “Early detection through regular screening is the key to better outcomes,” says Keisha Humphries, Ascension Via Christi’s Director of Oncology Services. “But research has established that women may put theirs off because of scheduling, convenience or transportation. This will give them another option.”
