Community Care Northumberland (CCN) is inviting area residents to dust off their golf clubs and show they care “fore” their community by taking part in the organization’s annual charity golf tournament.
Registration is now open for CCN’s “Caring Fore Our Community” annual golf tournament. Presented by Cogeco Northumberland, this year’s fundraiser is on Thursday, June 26 at Shelter Valley Pines Golf Club in Grafton.
Golfers can register as individuals or sign up as foursomes by visiting the CCN website at commcare.ca.
“The biggest hope for the impact of the golf fundraiser is to strengthen our ability to provide essential services across Northumberland County, while helping more people understand the real difference CCN makes every day,” Chelsea Rankin, communications specialist for CCN, told kawarthaNOW.
“To give you an idea of that impact, in 2023/2024, we completed over 32,000 drives for 1,843 clients, delivered more than 34,000 meals to 584 individuals, and supported hundreds through wellness programs, safety visits, and personal alarms,” she noted.
“The funds raised help bridge the gap between government support and the actual cost of meeting the growing needs in our community, ensuring we can continue delivering these vital services to those who rely on us.”
Last year’s golf tournament raised $18,100.
All proceeds from this year’s event will directly support CCN’s key community programs that make a meaningful difference in the lives of residents across Northumberland County, including nutrition services, transportation, in-home services, wraparound support, wellness programs, and hospice services.
Golf enthusiasts and community supporters alike are invited to mark their calendars for a day of friendly competition, connection, and giving back. The tournament “promises an engaging and enjoyable experience, all in support of a worthy cause,” CCN notes in a media release.
“Our annual golf tournament is not just a great day out, it directly supports programs that change lives in our community,” said CCN CEO Trish Baird.
“We’re thankful to Cogeco Northumberland for stepping up as our presenting sponsor and to everyone joining us to help make this event a success.”
The tournament has a 9 a.m. shotgun start. The cost is $150 per person, which includes 18 holes of golf, a cart, and lunch.
There are also opportunities available for sponsorship of the tournament.
“Local businesses looking to make a positive impact while gaining brand exposure are encouraged to explore the many sponsorship opportunities available,” CCN states. “Supporting the Caring Fore Our Community golf tournament not only demonstrates a commitment to local initiatives but also helps ensure the continued delivery of essential CCN services throughout the region.”
