Thanks to the generous contribution of time from dedicated volunteers, we are pleased that we are, for the 8th year running now, one of three charitable organizations selected to benefit from the MetLife Alumni Charity Golf Tournament
We invite you to come and join the fun by golfing with us, sponsoring a hole, or assisting with donations of prizes. Again this year, hole sponsorship is only $125 and includes signage at the hole.
The funds raised in the tournament support two additional charities while all hole sponsorship funds directly support the ongoing initiatives of the Elizabeth Fry Society of Ottawa. These include various counselling services, transitional housing and other integration programs. By supporting the Elizabeth Fry Society of Ottawa, you are helping us provide needed programs and services to some of the most vulnerable women and their children here in your own community.
We know that in these challenging financial times, charitable dollars can be harder to secure. By supporting our golf tournament this year, your support goes even further thanks to the generous support of the Bronson Avenue Scotiabank Branch. This year, all donations and sponsorships (up to a $1,000 maximum) will be matched through their community program.
We hope we can count on your participation!
For more information on how you can register, donate a prize or sponsor a hole please contact: Kerry Walsh at 613-237-7427 x 200 or by email at kerry.walsh@efryottawa.com.
