In the afternoon the course at Orr Lake was buzzing with excitement as news spread of a hole-in-one at Bourgeois Motors Ford’s sponsored hole that offered a 3-year lease on a brand-new vehicle or cash equivalent. Silvio Zitoli was the lucky winner of a $30,000 cash prize courtesy of Bourgeois for scoring a rare hole-in-one. In the spirit of giving back, Silvio decided to donate $500 toward the tournament’s fundraising goals.
“This year we hit an incredible milestone as we’ve now surpassed $500,000 in cumulative donations to local charities across North Simcoe through our annual golf tournament,” said Mayor David Evans. “I’d like to thank all of our participants, donors, sponsors, guests, volunteers, and staff that contributed to this very special 15th Mayor’s Charity Golf Tournament in Tiny and everyone that have helped us to give back to our community and those that need support most.”
Thanks to the generosity of our community, the Township of Tiny has collectively donated over $517,000 to more than 40 local not-for-profit and charitable organizations through the Mayor’s Charity Golf Tournament that focus on supporting community health and wellness, building the local economy, delivering exceptional services, and much more.
