Broadmead Care Golf Tournament Raises $80,000
The high temperature on Friday May 3rd was one of two records set on that day. Happily for golfers, it was also the day of the 10th annual Broadmead Care Golf Tournament which raised a record-breaking $80,000 at the Uplands Golf Club, more than double the previous year’s amount. Funds will be used to purchase super-low electric beds that will enhance the comfort, dignity and independence for hundreds of WWII and Korean War veterans and seniors at the Lodge at Broadmead and Veterans Health Centre and for adults with disabilities at Nigel House and Harriet House.
Special thanks are extended to emcee Jack Knox who entertained the golfers at the dinner and to all our sponsors for making the event so successful.
For more information, call Kathy Baan at 250-658-3274 or email her at kathy.baan@broadmeadcare.com.
