Over $40,000 was raised by the Foundation of the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance at their 12th Annual Pro/Am Golf Tournament.
More than 128 golfers and 33 club professionals took part in the sold out event at Maple City Country Club in Chatham on Friday, August 11.
"Our 12th Annual Pro/Am Golf Tournament was once again an entertaining day of golf," says Barb Noorenberghe, development officer for the foundation of CKHA, in a press release. "The energy from the volunteers, the golfers, and the pros was unbelievable. We are very grateful for the support of this year's event as everyone came together to raise funds for our DI Equipment Renewal Campaign."
The event featured 18 holes of golf, games of skill, and an elegant cocktail reception. There was also a silent auction featuring a private flight over Chatham-Kent, signed Auston Matthews and T.J. Brodie jerseys, and a number of golf packages.
The money that was raised at the event will go to the CHKA's Diagnostic Imaging Equipment Renewal Campaign. So far they've raised $4.5-million of their $6.9-million goal.
