Prince George Cougars Charity Golf Tournament to tee off this weekend

For an eighth consecutive year, the Prince George Cougars Alumni Hospital Charity Golf Tournament is sold out.

This weekend will be in full swing when the tournament gets underway in Prince George.

The Prince George Cougars, the Prince George Cougars’ Alumni Association and the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation have teamed up once again for the eighth annual Prince George Cougars Alumni Hospital Charity Golf Tournament.

The two-day event takes place this Friday (CN Centre) and Saturday (Prince George Golf and Curling Club). Over the past seven years, the Prince George Cougars and the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation have partnered to raise close to $500,000 towards healthcare in Northern BC.

For the past three years, fundraising for the tournament has focused on cardiac care. With a fundraising goal of $80,000 this year, the focus for the tournament is to close in on the final funding needed to purchase a Vivid Q Cardiac Ultrasound to be used by anesthesiologists at UHNBC. Last year, nearly $74,000 was raised to help complete the Spirit of the North’s regional cardiac strategy for UHNBC.

Confirmed alumni for this year’s tournament include Eric Brewer (1995-1998), Nick Drazenovic (2002-2007), Chase Witala (2011-2016) Ronald Petrovicky (1994-1997), and Ty Edmonds (2013-2017). Making their first appearance at this year’s event are Josh Curtis (2015-2019), Joel Lakusta (2015-2019), and Mike MacLean (2018-2019).
