Do you know Who's Your Caddy?

Traditional golf etiquette was cast aside on Thursday, September 23, as a mass of pink boas, tuxedos and masked cowboys descended upon Whitevale Golf Club.

Who's Your Caddy, a ladies-only golf tournament welcomed some incredible women who manage business, volunteering and home. Presented by Veridian Corporation, all proceeds from the tournament were given to support the Image is Everything Campaign to bring the first MRI to Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital.

The tournament was an irreverent spectacle of laughter and fun as each ladies' foursome was paired with a male caddy for advice and assistance. The caddies were gentlemen and while the ladies may not have been so well-behaved, the tournament was a resounding success!

20th Annual Golf Classic a Hole-in-One

Thank you to all of the golfers and volunteers who donated with as much passion as they played during the 20th Annual Golf Classic on August 5, 2010. The event raised $30,000 for our Rouge Valley Centenary Buy a Bed campaign, through sponsor and individual donations.

Toronto City Councillor and campaign Co-Chair Paul Ainslie spoke during the dinner on the importance of restoring comfort and health, one bed at a time. "If you find yourself needing hospital services, it's crucial that the bed helps to provide that care and comfort during your visit." And after such a long and satisfying day, it's no doubt that everyone in attendance knew just how important a bed can be.

Cassidy & Co. tourney supports MRI Campaign

In its over 20-year partnership with Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital, Cassidy & Co. has been a familiar presence at many of the Foundation's events and a generous supporter of our campaigns. As well as being a long-time sponsor of our Mayors' Charity Golf Classic and Annual Gala, Cassidy & Co. supports our community by sponsoring the City of Pickering Mayor's Gala as well as hosting its own annual golf tournament.

On July 8, 2010, Cassidy & Co. hosted its 23rd Annual Charity Golf Tournament. Because Cassidy & Co. wants our expanding community to have the best health care close to home, proceeds from this year's tournament supported our "Image is Everything" Campaign, with members of the Campaign Cabinet accepting a $25,000 cheque at the post-game dinner. Special thanks to Wayne and Sandra Cassidy, and to the numerous golfers and tournament sponsors, who are helping bring an MRI to their local community hospital.
