Ken Shaw, CTV news anchor, and Durham Region Chairman Roger Anderson smile for the camera during the 11th annual Durham Region Chairman's Charity Classic on Thursday, June 7.
Students in financial need at Durham College now have access to additional financial resources thanks to the $452,000 raised at the annual Durham Region Chairman's Charity Classic golf tournament. The event, which took place Thursday, June 7 at Deer Creek Golf Club and Banquet Facility in Ajax, Ontario, made for a great day of golf and camaraderie, along with extending a legacy of giving to community organizations.
The funds raised will also support students at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), Junior Achievement and the Abilities Centre Durham. Hosted by Durham Region Chairman Roger Anderson, the classic has raised nearly $3 million over its lifetime.
Representatives from each organization 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 Durham College and UOIT tuition.
