The Township of Essa’s annual golf tournament has raised $48,000 in support of three local organizations, with each receiving $16,000.
Representatives from the Township of Essa joined representatives from Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation, Royal Victoria Hospital ,and Matthews House Hospice at a cheque presentation last week.
“Essa is fortunate to have strong connections to all three of these organizations, and our residents rely on each of them for healthcare and hospice services,” says Sandie Macdonald, Mayor of Essa. “It is wonderful to see the success of our golf tournament continue to grow each year. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event possible, from our staff, sponsors and golfers to the dedicated teams at Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation, Royal Victoria Hospital and Matthews House Hospice. We are proud to support the important work they do in our communities.”
The annual tournament brings together community members, local businesses and supporters for a day of golf while raising funds for organizations providing essential services throughout the region.
“On behalf of Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation, we are incredibly grateful to the Township of Essa and everyone who participated in this year’s golf tournament,” says Dr. Ted Vandevis, CEO of the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation. “A gift like this makes a real difference to our community and helps us continue building a stronger future for healthcare at Stevenson Memorial Hospital. We are proud to be one of three organizations benefiting from this year’s tournament and grateful to share this support with Royal Victoria Hospital and Matthews House Hospice.”
The $16,000 donation to Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation will support the Foundation’s Because of YOU campaign, which is helping fund the redevelopment of Stevenson Memorial Hospital. The donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Morningview Foundation, bringing its total impact to $32,000 toward the campaign.
