Lady Minto Hospital Golf Tournament

We had a record 184 golfers and raised almost $25,000 to help us purchase equipment for our community hospital. This year’s corporate sponsors were Mouat’s Trading Company and Salt Spring Garbage. Although no one was lucky enough to score a Hole in 1, Saunders Subaru once again offered a new Subaru to the first golfer in the tournament who was able to sink one.

As they have done for many years, Royal Lepage Salt Spring Realty kindly supplied the registration tent which provided shelter on a very warm Saturday. Water and sunblock provided by Pharmasave were also greatly appreciated.

We received fabulous support from the many local businesses, hospital suppliers and individuals listed below who donated so many incredible prizes and generously sponsored golf holes. Many thanks also to the Driftwood for their help with advertising and publicity.

A huge thank you to Steve Marleau, Brett Savin and staff at the Salt Spring Golf and Country Club for all their support with organization, scoring, prizes and publicity. A special thanks to the many Junior Golfers who ran both the putting contest and balloon lottery, hit long drives to help many golfers boost their scores, and who helped out wherever they were needed throughout the day.

We had a wonderful buffet dinner thanks to Jesse Blanchette and his staff at the Falconshead Grill and Lounge, and Beth Cherneff from Flowers by Arrangement donated beautiful centerpieces for our tables.

Our guest auctioneer, Dan Bouchard, helped raise our fund-raising total and was also a great entertainer.

PLEASE GIVE YOUR BUSINESS TO ALL OUR WONDERFUL SUPPORTERS.
