Honoring the legacy of Dr. Suresh Lohano

The tournament is held in memory of Suresh Lohano, M.D., who served as a physician at Daviess Community Hospital for many years. Dr. Lohano was known for his compassion, clinical excellence and leadership, and he was deeply committed to improving the health of others—both through medicine and by encouraging active lifestyles and meaningful relationships.

His sudden passing in 2024 left a lasting impact on his patients, colleagues and the broader region. This event celebrates his life and the way he cared for people by bringing the community together around movement, connection and shared purpose.
