The Annual Women’s Golf Classic, sponsored by Rogers Group of Companies, brings together top women executives across the country to mix philanthropy with a little fun while helping to give children and youth a brighter future.
The day began when guests handed over their car keys to have their cars valet parked and groomed. Gifting was in abundance as ladies found complimentary gifting post registration, in their lockers, on their carts and at various holes on the golf course.
Pre-game spa services were offered as well as two golf clinics led by LPGA professional Sandra Post. It was a beautiful sunny day, and guests were treated to a mimosa send-off while they enjoyed the lyrical sounds of a traditional Scottish piper. After tee-off, the fun began! Each hole featured food or beverage samplings, special contests and many giveaways, provided by our many wonderful sponsors.
The day culminated with a cocktail reception, strolling dinner, awards ceremony and silent auction. “Joie de Vivre” was the theme for the evening because the proceeds from the tournament would be helping children and youth experience the joy of life through prevention, enrichment and educations programs the Foundation funds. A poignant speech by one of the Foundation’s student ambassadors reminded everyone of the profound importance of the day when she spoke about her life and the role the Foundation has played in giving her a brighter future.
The Women’s Golf Classic would not be possible without the generous support of our corporate partners. In the 11 years since the tournament began, more than $2.4 million has been raised to support Canada’s vulnerable children and youth. We would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the Rogers Group of Companies, who were the presenting sponsor for the eighth year in a row. For more than 20 years, they have been supporting our children and youth in various ways through sponsorship of events and their support of our post secondary scholarship program. We would also like to thank MasterCard Canada who sponsored our reverse draw, one of the highlights of the evening. Celebrating the 11th annual Women’s Golf Classic would not have been possible without all of our event sponsors, supporters, volunteers and golfers! Thank you!
Congratulations to the top ranking teams:
