Vipond

On June 20, 2016, the DDRC and the Earl Grey Golf Club hosted the 36^th annual Vipond Charity Golf Classic. Since 1981, this tournament has raised more than two million dollars in support of the DDRC’s clients and services. The proceeds from this event go toward funding various DDRC programs and projects, and help improve the quality of life of individuals with developmental disabilities.

We could not have asked for better weather as we kicked off the tournament with a delicious lunch enjoyed by the players and our volunteers. We had nothing but blue skies and sunshine as the teams made their way through the course. The day ended with a fantastic dinner, where we announced the winning team who will be representing the Earl Grey Golf Club at the Vipond Finals in Vancouver this summer.

We want to thank the Earl Grey Golf Club, the Earl Grey Vipond Committee, the players, and all of the volunteers who helped make this golf tournament a success. Take a look at some of our favourite photos from the event:
