A sudden downpour could not dampen the spirits of golfers at the Sutton Quantum Cares First Annual Charity Golf Tournament. The golfers played through with a positive attitude and went on to enjoy prizes, dinner and a silent auction.
Thanks to the participants and generous sponsors, this event organized by Sutton Group – Quantum Realty Inc. raised $3,500 for Special Olympics. As a non-profit organization, Special Olympics strives to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
“The Special Olympics focuses on the joy of sport and on what people can accomplish with drive and determination,” says REALTOR® Tabatha Walter, who served on the organizing committee.
“Tina Gardin, Broker/Owner, and her husband have supported the Special Olympics for many years now, including volunteering with the annual Beaver Valley 180km bike ride, which raises funds for the Special Olympics. Don Smith, Broker/Manager, had the idea to host an annual golf tournament to raise awareness and support for the charity.”
“We were very fortunate to have the help of many REALTOR® volunteers forming the golf tournament committee including Diane Harling, Amy Kalinowski, Lynn Still, Sue Sehgal, and myself along with Dominion Lending Centre’s Frances Hinojosa, Glenn MacLaren, Ana Costa and Karen Wotherspoon. And of course our REALTORS® bought tickets for themselves, friends and clients to support this great event!”
Sutton Group – Quantum Realty Inc. would like to thank the many sponsors who donated prizes and/or sponsored holes. There were 10 major sponsors: Metroland Media, Moving Moving, Lighthouse Inspections, Bonnie Franklin, Ron Goldkind, Real Web Solutions, Allegra Law, DLC, MCAP and Kathleen Yeoman.
