The 11th annual Metcalfe Charity Classic presented by Flagstick Golf Magazine took place Wednesday, July 14th at the Metcalfe Golf and Country Club.
Once again the tournament was a great success as 136 golfers took to the course and enjoyed various on-course and post-golf activities.
Combining entry frees, donations, raffles, and a silent auction more than $7500 was raised for the Osgoode Care Centre.
On hand for the cheque presentation was Clare O’Brien of the Care Centre who thanked everyone involved, particularly the sponsor, Jeff Bauder, Publisher of Flagstick, and Tom and Gloria Welch, the owners of the Metcalfe Golf Club. “These funds mean a lot for our fundraising efforts to help our residents.”
O’Brien indicated that the money raised from this year’s event will go towards a mobility device that will help the residents of the centre to walk and exercise. “That is really important as many of them are in their wheelchairs for many hours a day.”
The Charity Classic was supported by a number of members of the corporate community along with many individuals and Metcalfe Golf & Country Club General Manager Rob Howell wanted to pass on thanks to all of them. “Without them we would not be able to raise this money for such a worthy cause. We really appreciate the support they provide,” said Howell.
