A golf championship that will be held in London this fall will generate some extra cash for Childcan.
Freedom 55 Financial, Highland Country Club, and the Mackenzie Tour – PGA TOUR Canada announced on Friday the organization that helps families of children battling cancer will be the official charity of the Freedom 55 Financial Championship.
“With September officially recognized as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we‘re pleased Highland has selected Childcan to receive the tournament’s charitable proceeds in 2018,” said Abbie MacMillan, vice-president of Freedom 55 Financial. “This builds on our support for children with cancer in Ontario."
The championship golf tournament will be held at the Highland Country Club from September 10 to 16.
“Childcan could not be here for the families and children coping with childhood cancer were it not for the generosity of our community,” said Kathleen Barnard, Childcan executive director. “While we don’t receive ongoing government funding, we do receive an outpouring of support from those who know and see the difference that their donations make. Initiatives like the Freedom 55 Financial Championship have an incredible impact on the financial, emotional, social and research programs we provide for our families.”
Last year’s championship raised $52,000 in support of the Thames Valley Children’s Centre
