Annual Durham Region Roger Anderson Charity Classic raises $324,000

Thanks to the support of sponsors, donors, volunteers and participants, the 16th annual Roger Anderson Charity Classic golf tournament was another huge success, raising $324,000. Held on June 13 at Deer Creek Golf and Banquet Facility in Ajax, Ont., the annual event hosted more than 240 golfers as they teed off for a chance to improve the lives of individuals living in Durham Region.

The tournament, hosted by Durham Region Chairman and CEO Roger Anderson, has created and maintained a legacy of giving to community organizations including providing assistance to students in financial need at Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology and child and youth initiatives at the Ontario Shores Foundation for Mental Health.

Representatives from each of the three organizations receiving proceeds from the tournament were on hand for a cheque presentation and the chance to extend their gratitude for the ongoing and enthusiastic support of everyone involved in the tournament.  

Tournament organizers would also like to recognize all of the sponsors for their ongoing and generous support.  Special thanks to major sponsors AECOM, Covanta Energy Corporation, Lenovo, Metroland Media, Metropia, Ontario Power Generation, Runnymede Development Corporation, Scotiabank Group, Brookvalley Developments, Fieldgate/TACC/Paradise Homes, The Miller Group and Tribute Communities and tournament sponsors Fraser Ford, HDR Corporation and King Square.
