North Shore Women’s Centre Complementary Health and Wellness Clinic is the designated charity for the 2012 Mayors’ Golf Tournament
The 5th Annual North Shore Mayors’ Golf Tournament will assist in funding the Complementary Health and Wellness Clinic project of the North Shore Women’s Centre. The $50,000 funding from the MGT will cover the 2-year start-up of the program.
The Complementary Health and Wellness Clinic located in Lower Lonsdale would be the first of its kind in the community: an integrative health centre providing a broad range of complementary health care services (e.g. acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, naturopathy, homeopathy, chiropractic, massage therapy, reflexology) with an educational and preventative focus, to support women living in poverty. This project will assist those women in need of a health care plan that will help guide them through difficult transition periods.

The support we get from over sixty corporate sponsors is amazing and we can’t thank them enough. These sponsors provide cash and donated goods and services. While there are different levels of support all sponsors contribute to putting on a successful event. Our three mayors have also been very supportive in lending the name of their respective offices to the event. We really appreciate their encouragement and enthusiasm for the event. Friendly team and individual competition is provided to all our golfers as well as on-course samplings of great food and drink. There will also be interesting on-course challenges; longest drive, closest to the hole, hole-in-one, and the putting contest.
In just 4 years the tournament has netted a total of $479,000. The North Shore Mayors’ Golf Tournament is run almost entirely by volunteers and all the money raised goes to the two foundations and the designated charities. In total we had 33 volunteers split between morning and afternoon. The organizing committee consisted of 7 people, all volunteers, who worked for over six months raising money and organizing the program for the day.
