Our first tournament hosted 75 golfers at Indian Wells Golf Club in Burlington and raised $5,000 for SickKids’ Hospital.

By 1994, the tournament was so successful and the increasingly positive response (up to 300 golfers), led us to host a morning and afternoon format. For another 18 years, we hosted our tournament at Kleinburg Golf Club.

Only six years later, we celebrated our first sell-out year, meaning that we filled all 432 available spots. $60,000 was raised for SickKids’, Peel Memorial (now William Osler Health Centre) and Credit Valley Hospitals (now Trillium Health Partners).

When Kleinburg Golf Club was closed for development in 2010, our tournament was moved to the prestigious Lionhead Golf & Conference Centre, allowing us to increase the number of golfers.

We continue to host two shotguns each year, helping us to raise nearly $5 million since 1990.

Highlights from past events include: a hole-in-one winner in 2004 – Peter Willson- who won a 2-year lease on a Ford Mustang and we’ve enjoyed the company of golfing with a few celebrities (the late Johnny Bower in 2004, the late Walter Gretzky in 2008 and Frank Ferragine in 2010).

By hosting this charity golf tournament, we continue to honour our Founder’s intention of bringing people together for a day of golf, food and fun for the purpose of giving back to our communities.
