The community came together at the YMCA of Southern Interior BCâs annual Wilson M. Beck Charity Golf Tournament.
140 golfers took to Âé¶čAV Golf and Country Club on July 17 and enjoyed a day of golf while raising more than $90,000 for the Yâs Strong Kids Campaign. Some of the money was also raised through scholarships and an online auction.
âWe are inspired by the enthusiasm and heart that the golf participants and volunteers bring to this event each year,â said YMCA of Southern Interior BC VP of Philanthropy Tammie Watson. âThe support felt on event day was incredible. Our communities continue to face challenges â from financial instability due to rising living expenses, mental health and isolation concerns, or a trend towards unhealthy lifestyles â letâs face it we all have to move more â this event made more possible for local families in need.â
âThis is one of our favourite events,â said WMB Managing Partner and Title Sponsor Steven Pavelich. âNot only is it fun, but it is truly rewarding to see the funds raised from this event go to a charity that is making a difference in the lives of community members right here in the Okanagan.â
It was the 13th annual event.
