Fairways Fore Hope Recap
29 AUG 2024
$65,000 and counting!
The 1st Annual Fairways Fore Hope was an incredible success, surpassing all our expectations! This collaboration of Rattlesnake, Glencairn and Greystone Clubs came together to support a cause close to our hearts: improving outcomes for those diagnosed with breast cancer.
Our initial fundraising goal was $40,000, but thanks to the tremendous effort and generosity of everyone involved, we have raised an outstanding $65,000 to date. Our combined Men’s Groups were tremendously supportive and got creative in their fundraising to help us reach and exceed our goal. This achievement is a testament to the countless meetings, planning sessions, and hard work that went into making this event a remarkable kickoff.
A special thank you goes out to our dedicated committee members. We couldn’t have done it without you! Louise Smith – Chair, and supported by Angie Anderson, Felicity Guest, Wendy Hanson, Asha Singh, Jan Pike, Mary Trudelle, Steve LeBlanc, Stephanie M. Berriman and Diana Coverdale.
Our appreciation goes to our Title Sponsor, Retirement Navigator, our Dinner Sponsor, Corelife Wellness and our Cocktail Sponsor, Ainsworth. Our Hole Sponsors represented our many members’ businesses. Thank you all for your exceptional support and for setting the stage for the success of our event.
The field was at full capacity with 132 women, and what a beautiful day we had from start to finish. We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all our 52 “in honour” signs supporters. Each one represented a meaningful tribute to a loved one.
The vibe was nothing short of amazing— with pink bubblies flowing and the saxophonist setting the perfect mood! Despite the event’s scale, it felt intimate, with all the women connecting deeply, sharing their personal stories and experiences.
We would like to take a moment to acknowledge and congratulate our top three teams and the Proximity winners from the event. Congratulations to all of you on a well-played game.
Proximity Winners:
Putting Contest – Carol Alderman won the Putter!
Beat the Pro – 11 Players in the draw. Draw winner – Liz Channel
