For Immediate Release | 13 October 2017
Dufferin County, ON: Today, the Dufferin Board of Trade Golf Committee presented a cheque for $5000 to the Headwaters Health Care Foundation. The funds were raised at the 2017 Play Local Golf Tournament on August 24, 2017, and presented at the new Ambulatory Care Centre at the Headwaters Health Care Centre.
The 2017 Play Local Golf Tournament at the Shelburne Golf & Country Club was one of DBOT’s four marquee networking events of the year. The tournament welcomed over ninety golfers and dinner guests who were invited to participate in the silent auction benefitting the Headwaters Health Care Foundation.
The auction items were generously donated by local businesses operating in the greater Dufferin area. Pete Renshaw, Chair of the Dufferin Board of Trade, stated, “Every year the Golf Tournament presents an opportunity for the business community to come together to contribute to the greater good here in Dufferin, and each year our businesses surpass all expectations with their generosity. It is truly an honour to present this cheque on behalf of our members and the entire Dufferin business community”.
Each year, Headwaters Health Care Foundation raises over $2 million (net) needed to fund hospital equipment purchases. “We are grateful that Dufferin Board of Trade has chosen to donate the proceeds of their recent Golf Tournament to our local hospital,” says Joan Burdette, Executive Director, Headwaters Health Care Foundation. “The state-of-the-art hospital equipment Headwaters has today was made possible because of the generosity of donors like this group who want to make a difference in the health care available right here in their own community”.
