CAAAR!
Burlington Golf and Country Club
The inaugural CAAAR! 3 on 3 Road Hockey
Tournament was a great success, bringing our
community together for a day of road hockey and
family fun.
The Burlington Golf and Country Club celebrated a milestone
in August with their 30th Annual Charity Golf Tournament in
support of the Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation. And they
celebrated with their most successful year to date, raising
$85,000 towards the Our New Era Campaign.
We were pleased to have current and former NHL
players Dale Hawerchuk, Mike Johnson, Doug Gilmour,
Gary Leeman, Carlo Coliaiacovo and Josh Jooris along
with special guest Michael “Pinball” Clemons.
All proceeds went to support the ongoing Critical
Needs of the Hospital. Thank you to the all the players,
donors, sponsors and partners who made the event
such a success.
Golfers were treated to a special surprise performance by the
Burlington Teen Tour Band, who marched up the 17th fairway
and into view of the unsuspecting tournament attendees. The
performance was a throwback to the original tournament, back
in 1985 which also featured a performance by the Burlington
Teen Tour Band.
Over 30 years, the BGCC Charity Golf Tournament has raised
almost $1.4 Million for our Hospital, and we are truly grateful
for their continued support. Special thanks to Tournament chair
John Stookes and the entire organizing committee.
