Chairman's Charity Classic golf tournament raises over $450,000
OSHAWA, Ont. - More than 240 golfers of all skill levels hit the course on Thursday, June 7 as the 11th Annual Durham Region Chairman's Charity Classic took place here, at Deer Creek Golf Club and Banquet Facility. In addition to enjoying a great day of golf and fellowship, participants came together in an effort to make a difference in the lives of people across Durham Region and extend a legacy of giving to community organizations.

Thanks to the generosity of golfers, sponsors, donors and volunteers, $452,000 was raised toward providing assistance to students in financial need at Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), Junior Achievement and the Abilities Centre Durham. The classic, hosted by Durham Region Chairman Roger Anderson, has raised nearly $3 million over its lifetime.

Representatives of each of the four organizations receiving proceeds from this year's tournament were on hand for a cheque presentation, unanimous in their gratitude of Anderson's ongoing and enthusiastic support of young people in the region.

This year's sold-out event included three Fraser Ford hole-in-one holes, a $1-million shootout and a putting contest. Auction items included a hockey box at the Bell Centre in Montreal and UOIT and Durham College tuition.
