June 2011 - Golf Tournament a Swinging Success!

 12th Annual Golf Tournament a Swinging Success!

The Delta Hospital Foundation’s 12th Annual Delta Health Golf Classic successfully concluded on June 9, 2011 at Kings Links by the Sea in Delta. The final cheque was presented to the Delta Hospital Foundation by the presenting sponsors, Delta Fire Fighters Charitable Society, for over $144,000, surpassing the initial goal of $125,000. All monies raised will go towards the Delta Hospital Foundation’s Cancer Care Fund – a newly designated fund dedicated to early detection of cancer and the purchase of diagnostic equipment.


“We are extremely pleased with the amount of support the golf tournament received this year,” said Lois Wilkinson, chair of the Delta Hospital Foundation board, “the money raised at the tournament will benefit cancer care programs at Delta Hospital by bringing much needed diagnostic equipment to our community.” The Cancer Care Fund received its first two corporate gifts at the event with $10,000 donated from RBC and $5,000 from the Wheaton Group.


Since 2000, the annual Delta Health Golf Classic has raised over $ 1 million for Delta Hospital, equipment, programs and services. The always sold-out event attracts 144 golfers and has repeatedly won best tournament throughout the community.


“We appreciate all of the support and time our dedicated sponsors provide, year after year they help make this tournament a success,” said Bruce Fougner, Delta Health Golf Classic chair. “It is great to see everyone engaged, having fun, and raising money for our Hospital.”


Presented by the Delta Fire Fighters Charitable Society, the tournament ended with dinner emceed by Robb Lucy, former producer for CBC and was capped off by a great live auction by Ian Paton. The most popular auction item was a four day fishing adventure at Duncanby Lodge and Marina worth over $7,500.


The Delta Health Golf Classic award was presented to the winning team at the post-tournament dinner. Other awards were also presented to winners of the Closest to the Reality Signs, closest to the pin, and best putting and chipping.
