Jun 16, 2024 | 2:12 PM

The 13th Annual Victoria Hospital Charity Golf Classic, held on Friday at Emma Lake Golf Course, raised $74,333.

The goal of the event is to raise funds for life-saving equipment and essential services at the Victoria Hospital, Herb Basset Home, and Pine View Terrace Care Home.

The day began with a BBQ lunch during registration and the golf tournament kicked off with a shotgun start in a Texas Scramble format. The day ended with a banquet.

Reflecting on the success of the event, Cody Barnett, CEO of the Boreal Healthcare Foundation, said, “We are deeply grateful for the incredible support from our community and sponsors. The funds raised will significantly impact our ability to provide top-tier medical care and enhance the comfort and care of residents in our facilities. This event truly exemplifies the power of community spirit and collective effort.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our presenting sponsor, Ruszkowski Enterprises, for their invaluable support. A huge shoutout to PCL construction for the fantastic tee gifts and to Lake Country Co-op for the amazing prizes. We’re grateful to Joel Broda for hosting the longest drive contest hole, B&B construction for the closest to the pylon contest, and to Memorial Gardens River Park Funeral Home and Gray’s Funeral Chapel for the closest to the pin contest hole. A big thank you to WorkSafe for providing the delicious BBQ lunch that everyone enjoyed. Huge thank you to our hole in one sponsors Mann-Northway Chevrolet GMC Buick, RNF Ventures & Prakash Consulting, Malcolm J. Jenkins Family Foundation Inc.”

Barnett said the success of this year’s event sets a promising tone for future community engagements and charitable endeavors for the Boreal Healthcare Foundation.
