Best Western Plus Dryden Hotel & Conference Centre Home Town Heroes Charity Golf Classic

July 7, 2021

We're back! George Jeffrey Children's Foundation is excited to announce the Best Western Plus Dryden Hotel & Conference Centre's Hometown Heroes Charity Golf Classic hosted by NHL star Carter Hutton, taking place August 5th, 2021 at Fort William Golf and Country Club, in support of George Jeffrey Children's Foundation.

"We are very excited to be bringing back this well-known golf tournament in support of George Jeffrey Children's Foundation," says Cindy Levanto-Kawahara, Executive Director at the Foundation. "We are confident that with the help of Fort William Country Club, we will be able to present a great event for our community, while keeping in line with provincial health and safety guidelines."

Golfers will be able to enjoy 18 holes of socially-distanced golf in this scramble format tournament, along with various contests and activities throughout the day. Once the scores are added up, golfers will head back to the clubhouse to pick up their to-go dinners and join us from the comfort of their homes for a virtual dinner, an awards ceremony, and a celebration of our Hometown Heroes!

"Of course we would not be able to make this event a success without the valuable support of our committed sponsors," says Levanto-Kawahara.

"Best Western Plus Dryden Hotel & Conference Centre is proud to be the Title Sponsor for this very special fundraising event that supports the invaluable work done at the George Jeffrey Children's Centre for the benefit of families in the Thunder Bay community and throughout Northwestern Ontario," says Mike Readman, General Manager of Best Western Plus Dryden Hotel & Conference Centre. "We support their mission of 'Enriching lives by delivering specialized rehabilitative and interprofessional services in client-centered environments' and share their vision of 'Empowered and inspired children, youth and families.'"

Registration for the Tournament is now open at www.hometownheroesgolf.com. All funds raised through this event will support the programs and services provided at George Jeffrey Children's Centre.
