Sackville Minor Hockey will be hosting its 9th annual golf tournament at the Sackville Golf & Country Club in Sackville on Saturday, June 12. This fundraising event has proven a huge success, drawing players from all over Atlantic Canada, and enjoyed by participants and sponsors alike for nine years now. This year’s event plans to be bigger and better than ever with two fabulous prizes for a hole in one. This year the event will feature a silent auction as well.
The tournament will involve up to 90 golfers who will play on five-person teams. A steak barbecue and participation prize are included in the entry fee. Spaces are filling up quickly but those who wish to participate as a team or as an individual can register by contacting Jennifer Dixon at 536-8982. This is an excellent opportunity for a business or organization to bring a team of employees together for a fun event while supporting a worthy cause.
Participation in minor hockey continues to grow each year. The golf tournament is one of the club’s major fundraising events annually. In 2009, the tournament raised close to $10,000, greatly helping to ensure hockey remains affordable for all families and children in the Tantramar region.
