One hundred sixty-three golfers were treated to a great day of golf, competitions, prizes, dinner and a live auction at the annual Charity Golf Tournament put on by the HL Tiessen Foundation.
Held on a gorgeous June 12th afternoon at the prestigious Kingsville Golf & Country Club, the foundation raised $110,000 to support four local charities: Erie Shores Health Foundation, Southwestern Ontario Gleaners, The Bridge and UMEI Christian High School.
The live auction, led by Joe Oswald, was a big success and raised $12,100 for five items.
“All of the proceeds stay in the area for local charities, while the money raised often goes to capital projects that would otherwise struggle for funding,” said Linda Tiessen of the golf committee.
Linda’s husband Hugo added, “Every dollar is going to the cause as the expenses are covered by Tiessen Financial.”
Over 100 donors pitched in for tournament door prizes and the live auction.
On the course, the men’s team winner was the team of Ryan Sanger, George Bergen, Pete Fehr and Will Peters.
The mixed team of Bill Fehr, Mary Fehr, Sara Friesen and Abe Friesen took top honours in that category.
