Application process opens for golf tournament proceeds

MINTO – The 10th annual Mayor’s Charity Golf Tournament will be held on Aug. 6 at Pike Lake Golf Centre.

The application process for groups seeking to receive funding from the event is now open and will close on April 6, organizers have announced.

The committee is looking for applications from non-profit organizations within the Town of Minto that fit into one of three categories: community betterment, service club or sports club.

Over the past nine years, the tournament has raised around $100,000 and has assisted 35 local community groups with financial expenses or events in the Minto community.

Last year four organizations benefited from the proceeds: Harriston Preschool, Minto Mental Health, Minto United Soccer Club and U14 Palmerston Marlins/Minto Minor Ball.

Funds from previous years have been used to beautify local downtowns, purchase new sports equipment, fundraise for a refugee family and helped to fundraise for the Canada Packers Reunion 2018.

“We look forward to supporting and assisting our local groups again this year,” organizers state.
