The 17th annual Friends of Palliative Care Golf Tournament and Banquet was held at the BCC Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2010. It was a super success. Two full draws were orchestrated; the first at 7:30 AM and the second at 12:30 PM for a total of 288 participants. And the organizing committee, volunteers and BCC staff handled it like clock work.
The day was hot, but with lots of fluid everyone enjoyed the BCC course and completed their round in good time. Following golf play and a social hour, all participants were treated to a great banquet meal prepared and served by BCC staff.
But the day was about Palliative Care. The yearly tournament is a major fund raiser to maintain the Palliative Care services for Brockville and the surrounding area. Following a great meal, speaches, draws and the silent auction, co-chairs Dave Publow and Jim Cooper presented Dave Bryer, representing the Brockville and District Hospital Foundation, with a check for $135,000. 
WOW!As the Organizing Committee stated in their Tournament Program, "Our friends, our volunteers and the Brockville Country Club did something wonderful today and we Thank You!"
It was a great day, and we look forward to a successful 2011 Friends of Palliative Care Tournament.
