Owen Sound Hospital Foundation Golf Classic a success

Owen Sound Hospital Foundation’s 29th Annual Charity Golf Classic set a new event fundraising record.

Last weekend's event at Legacy Ridge Golf Club raised $95,000.

Funds were raised through sold out golf registrations, sponsorship, on-course activities, generous donors and an online auction

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.

“Thanks to all of our golfers, sponsors, volunteers and everyone who helped make the day an amazing success,” said Denise Reid, Chair of the organizing committee. “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.”

“What a fantastic day of golf in support of a great cause.” said Amy McKinnon, Executive Director of OSRHF. “Heartfelt thanks to all the golfers, sponsors, and Denise Reid and her planning committee. We are overwhelmed by the support of everyone involved. During these unconventional and unpredictable times having support for priority needs of the Hospital is more important than ever. Thank you all.”
