The
18th Annual Palliative Care Golf Tournament and Banquet was held at the
Brockville Country Club Wednesday,
August 31, 2011 to rave reviews. The event had the
largest turnout ever and raised the most money ever for Brockville's Palliative Care Unit.
The morning draw had 104 golfers with 144 golfers in the afternoon draw for a total of 248. It was a great day for golf and
Derek and his crew, Denise and her crew and the host of
Palliative Care organizers ensured the event ran like clockwork.
Following the day's golf, everyone assembled in the much improved
"Granite Room" for a cocktail hour and served dinner. With the Granite Room now air conditioned, floor carpeted and acoustic treatment applied, it made for a very pleasant evening for the nearly 300 people in attendance. The highlight of the evening came when co-chairs
Dave Publow and
Jim Cooper presented a cheque for
$140,000 for local palliative care services.
Dave, Jim and some
30 volunteers work year-round to put together the event and raise funds from over
160 sponsors and players. It is a very worthy cause. The
Brockville Country Club is pleased to be a partner in this great event and its members and staff look forward to hosting the annual
Friends of Palliative Care Golf Tournament in 2012 as it has for the past 18 years.
