The Burnaby Board of Trade gave back to kids in the community with its annual charity golf tournament on Sept. 7.
The organization raised more than $10,000 for KidSport Burnaby through player's pack sales, a 50/50 draw and a matched contribution of $5,000 by Scotiabank, according to a press release from the board.
Paul Gallop, who won the 50/50 prize, donated it to the charity, as well.
"It was a great day for golf," said the board president and CEO, Paul Holden, in the release. "We managed to raise a tremendous amount of money for KidSport Burnaby, a very worthy cause, and everyone who participated had a wonderful time. We couldn't have done it without the help of our sponsors and volunteers who deserve a ton of credit in making the day such a triumph."
There were individual and team awards, contests and raffle prizes, and a gourmet dinner at the event, which took place at the Riverway Golf Course and Clubhouse in South Burnaby.
KidSport helps underprivileged youth participate in organized sports.
