OKI Press Release

OKI Data Americas, which markets its products under the OKI® Printing Solutions brand, will be the event sponsor at the 18th annual Samaritan Hospice Golf Tournament, taking place on Monday, June 23rd at Little Mill Country Club in Marlton, N.J. OKI Data Americas has been supporting this tournament for 17 years, donating over $280,000 since 1991. The 18-hole scramble format tournament will have a shotgun start at 11:30 a.m. Registration opens at 9:30 a.m. and an awards reception and dinner will follow at 4:30 p.m.

“It’s so exciting to be celebrating the 18th year of the golf tournament, a success in itself which we owe to all the support we’ve received from our community partners,” said Mary Ann Boccolini, President and CEO of Samaritan Hospice. “OKI Data Americas is the event sponsor of the tournament again this year, which is just one example of their dedication to our organization. We are grateful for their 17-year commitment, as it enables us to deliver consistent quality care to the members of this community.”

The annual fundraiser benefits Samaritan Hospice, a non-profit organization based in Marlton, N.J. Many services that Samaritan offers do not receive reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance. Generous community support allows Samaritan to provide grief services, care to uninsured patients and complementary therapies such as massage, music, pet and aroma therapies that offer comfort and relieve pain throughout south Jersey, including Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Mercer Counties.

The corporate philanthropic mission of Oki Electric Industry Company, Ltd., the Tokyo, Japan-based parent company of Oki Data Corporation, is to undertake social contribution activities that help realize the genuine enrichment of society, and contribute to the quality of life for people around the world.

“Samaritan Hospice is an organization that we are truly proud to support. They provide impeccable service and care, sources of comfort and relief from pain for those who are coping with illness and their loved ones in the communities that we live and work in,” said OKI Data Americas President and CEO, Stewart Krentzman. “It’s exciting for us to be the event sponsor of this year’s golf tournament and we look forward to raising money, making memories and working on our back swing!”
