KidSport golf tourney hopes for another ‘ace’ year in fundraising
A love of golf, plus some celebrity athletes equals a great formula to raise funds for youth in need of financial support to participate in their favourite sport.
The 12 annual KidSport Charity Golf Tournament was underway Saturday with over 100 participants on the greens to support the cause.
This year’s event was a bustling one, and local KidSport chair Brian Gislason said support for the event has continued to grow over the years.
“It’s been well received in the community,” he said. “I think awareness has really picked up, and the level of need in our community is substantial. We’re really fortunate that this tournament raises about half of what we budget in a given year. We hope to make anywhere from twelve to fifteen thousand this year.”
