Sportsmen’s Saturday is a premier community event for outdoor enthusiasts presented by Rock Outdoors and hosted by the Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist – Lexington Medical Center Foundation.The event is the largest annual fundraiser for Lexington Medical Center, reaching an audience of thousands, across eleven states, and typically raising over $130,000 for our community hospital every year.
The funds raised each year at Sportsmen’s Saturday are vital to enhancing the patient experience and providing state-of-the-art healthcare services and procedures here in Lexington.
Thanks to our community partners, businesses, and individuals, over $1M has been raised in the past 13 years through this event! Proceeds from previous events have benefited many departments and services at Lexington Medical Center, including improvements to the Emergency Department, the new Surgical Services Facility, the Da Vinci Surgical Robot, 3D Mammography and the Physical Therapy department. Every dollar raised through Sportsmen’s Saturday stays right here in our community, benefiting local patients.
Sportsmen’s Saturday is typically scheduled for the first Saturday in November. The specific date and additional details will be announced during the summer as part of the event preparations.
