A Golf Tournament has raised a record setting $95,000 for the Owen Sound Regional Hospital Foundation.
The Foundation says in a media release, the 29th Annual Charity Golf Classic was a sold out success at Legacy Ridge Golf Club on August 28th.
Funds were raised through golf registrations, sponsorships, on-course activities, generous donors and an online auction, all in support of the event.
Denise Reid, Organizing Committee Chair says, “Thanks to all of our golfers, sponsors, volunteers and everyone who helped make the day an amazing success.” She adds, “We are thrilled to have raised $95,000 in support of healthcare in our community, especially with the considerations made for the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Major sponsors of the 2020 Charity Golf Classic were Jim Gardhouse Chrysler, Leeder & Associates – RBC Wealth Management, Manulife Securities – Martin DesJardine, Owen Sound Medical Imaging and ScotiaWealth Management. More than 50 local businesses provided sponsorships and prizes. This event would not be made possible without the support of our community.
Since its inception 29 years ago, the Charity Golf Classic has raised over $1.3 million to support the purchase of new medical equipment for the Owen Sound Regional Hospital.
