Successful Screen for the Cure at BCC June 17th

Friday, June 17, 2011 at the Brockville Country Club was the scene of the third annual SCREEN FOR THE CURE Golf Tournament. The tournament, spearheaded by Don Moore and Dr. Bill Redman, raises monies for new colorectal screening equipment for the Brockville General Hospital to asist in early detection and cancer cure.


The tournament had a full field of 144 participants for the 12:30 pm shotgun start. The day was a beautiful sunny day and the BCC course was in great shape. From all participants
that qualified, Keith Blake had his name drawn to try a 50 foot putt for some $800.00. Keith came close, sliding his putt by within 6 inches ... but no cigar.


A lot of camaraderie and a fine meal followed with winners and prizes presented. The announcement of importance was that the 2011 Screen for the Cure tournament raised over $35,000 for the BGH to help in their ability to provide additional state-of-the-art care.


A great tournament for a worthy cause and we all look forward to the 4th Annual Screen for the Cure in 2012.
