The 19
th annual Waterloo Warriors President's Golf Tournament once again reaffirmed the generosity that exists on campus and in our Kitchener-Waterloo community.
The tournament helps raise money for the Warriors Excellence Fund providing support for student-athletes and teams travelling to national and international competitions, and the Women's Sport Initiative providing support for female student-athletes and coaches.
"It is a tremendous event held annually at Westmount Golf and Country Club and we could not be more thankful to our incredibly generous participants, sponsors and donors, that support our student-athletes," said director of athletics and recreation,
Roly Webster.
"It is such an impactful day for our student-athletes who experience the benefits through the success of the tournament. It seems every year more and more companies step up in our region and we are forever grateful to those who provide key funds for two very important priorities in our department."
This year's tournament raised over $70,000 bringing the 19-year total to over $1.1 million. Money is raised through tournament fees, silent and live auctions, and donation cards.
"I am so thankful for the dedication and commitment of our tournament committee who put together an exceptional event each year. We look forward to making next year our best tournament ever as we celebrate the 20
th anniversary," concluded Webster.
