Celebrating 35 Generous Years

21 Spring has sprung, which means registration is now open for our annual Vipond Earl Grey Charity Golf Classic! This year marks the tournament’s 35th anniversary of charitable support for the DDRC, and we are looking for golfers to make this fundraiser a hole-in-one success.

The Vipond Charity Golf Classic is one of the oldest charity golf tournaments in Canada. Our partnership with Earl Grey Golf Club began in 1981. Since then, the generosity of the Vipond Committee and many sponsors has resulted in more than $2-million for the DDRC. Tournament participants have helped fund current and past programs such as Learning and Leadership, the Augmentative and Alternative Communication Centre, Advanced Industries, Bow Catering, Bow Place, and many more.

The tournament will be held on June 15th at Earl Grey Golf Club, where DDRC clients and staff members will volunteer to help around the golf course. 14

Entry fees are $300 per person, or $1,100 per team of four. Registration includes lunch, green fees, golf cart rental, dinner, and a reception featuring a live auction.

If you’re not a golfer but would still like to contribute to this great fundraiser, you can become a sponsor or volunteer at the event. For more information, please email Austin Clem or call him at 403-240-7314.
