Michael Hoffman, chair for the 2015 Weyburn & District Hospital Foundation Charity Golf Tournament, has announced details of the fifth annual tournament.
"I am pleased to announce that our 2015 tournament, presented by Weyburn Security, will be held Friday, July 3 at the Weyburn Golf Club. Our guest speaker this year is Darren Dutchyshen from TSN's Sportscentre. "Dutchy" will be on the course throughout the day and helping cap off the event at the dinner and auction. It's nice to have somebody who's a little different. Darren has that national presence, but is still a Saskatchewan boy."
In addition, Midale native Derek Meyers, Sports Reporter with Global TV in Regina, will be the MC for the evening.
Out on the golf course participants can expect several challenges including closest to the pin, the chance to land your shot in a bed pan, and a couple of other surprises, as well as an opportunity to win the cash prize if you can sink a hole in one.
For those not able to join the fun on the golf course, dinner tickets are available. The evening includes a catered meal at McKenna hall followed by guest speaker “Dutch” and an exciting live auction, as well as numerous silent auction items.
There are still openings for hole sponsors as well as many other ways to support this amazing event. A full list of sponsors can be found at www.wdhf.ca. This tournament is the biggest fundraiser every year.
Thanks to generous community support, the initial goal has been reached and the government has announced that they have budgeted funds for the Sun Country Health Region to do the planning study for the new hospital. Funding may still be required for construction costs, and of course, the new facility needs much in the way of improved equipment. Our initial goal for equipment is $10 million.
