The 3rd Annual North Shore Mayors’ Golf was held on May 21/10 at Seymour Golf and Country Club. We had 136 registered golfers (only two foursomes short of a full field) and 5 registered guests for after golf activities.
The total net proceeds, or money raised was $116,000. Of that $50,000 will go to a project called the North Shore Middle Childhood Matters Project (MCM) coordinated by North Shore Community Resources. MCM offers after school activities to pre-teens in six elementary schools in North and West Vancouver. The funding will allow the number of schools to expand by six or more schools in September. The remaining $66,000 goes to the North Shore Community Foundation – Mayors Community Trust Fund and West Vancouver Community Foundation – Mayors Fund. The income from these trust funds will annually fund smaller worthwhile projects.
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. There are different levels of support but 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 support and enthusiasm for the event.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 and the putting contest.
In The first year of the tournament we netted $125,000 and the second year was $108,000. That’s a total of $348,000 in 3 years. The North Shore Mayors’ Golf Tournament is run almost entirely by volunteers and all the money goes the two foundations and the designated charities. In total we had 33 volunteers split between morning and afternoon. The organising committee consisted of 7 people, all volunteers, who worked for over six months raising money and organizing the program for the day.
