Golfers came together for a round of golf at one of the City’s best courses yesterday to raise thousands of dollars for not-for-profit and community organizations. The Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua Annual Charity Golf Classic was held at the Eagles Nest Golf Club on July 7.
The proceeds from this annual event and the Mayor’s Gala go to support the more than 100 community groups that provide essential services to the people of Vaughan. Embodying a spirit of generosity, businesses that support this event have helped organizations that serve youth, seniors, people with special needs, women’s centres, special education schools and sports groups.
