Durham College, UOIT students to benefit as Durham Chairman Roger Anderson and friends tee off in charity classic
June 2, 2008
The 12th annual event will extend a phenomenal legacy of giving to community organizations, as proceeds from this year's classic go to assisting students in need of financial assistance at Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), along with construction of the world-class Abilities Centre Durham.
Hosted by Region of Durham Chairman Roger Anderson, the tournament is one of the most successful annual fundraising initiatives in Durham Region and the Greater Toronto Area. It has raised nearly $3 million over its lifetime, including $452,000 in 2007.
This year's sold-out event includes three Fraser Ford hole-in-one holes, a $1-million shootout, a putting contest and more. Auction items include a hockey box at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, a home theatre package and a round-trip for four to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
