The golf tournament helps to fund the charitable society’s community donations to causes such as the nutritional school snack programs, high school programs and the BC Burn Fund.

Meantime, the society will holding the draw for its second car raffle on Thursday (July 1). Ticket sales closed on June 23.

The charitable society partnered with Surrey Honda for a second year in a row for a 2021 Honda CRV Sport or cash equivalent.
