Twenty Years of Hosting the Friends of Palliative Care Golf Tournament and Banquet by the BCC

The 20th Annual Friends of Palliative Care Golf Tournament and Banquet was hosted by the Brockville Country Club Wednesday, August 28, 2013. And records were set in many areas. Both a morning and afternoon draw were hosted catering to some 288 golfers; a record. For the evening banquet, silent auction and presentations the BCC served a sit-down 3-course meal to 320 participants and guests .. another record. And of course the organizers were able to announce a record total of $255,000 raised through this year's event.

The golf tournament and banquet hosted by the BCC raises close to half the yearly budget for the Brockville and District Hospice Palliative Care Service. It is a big event for a very important local service. Organizers and their many volunteers should be proud of their accomplishments over the past 20 years. And so should the staff and volunteers at the Brockville Country Club. The BCC has been a willing partner in making sure the tournament has been a success over the many years. CONGRATULATIONS staff for a great job in ensuring the Friends of Palliative Care had a great day.
