September 16, 2024 (Brockville, ON) – The 17th annual Champions for Kids Foundation (C4K) Golf Tournament, held at the Brockville Country Club this summer, set a new fundraising record.
The annual event drew 120 golfers, more than 50 sponsors and raised $60,898, all in support of Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) students and their families.
“We are incredibly grateful to the golfers, sponsors, and community members who helped us achieve this milestone,” says Laura Oliver, current foundation President. The record-breaking amount raised will make a huge difference in the lives of students across the UCDSB, allowing them to participate in activities and experiences that will enrich their education and personal growth.”
The funds will help ensure that UCDSB students have access to sports and other extra-curricular opportunities, while also providing financial support for essential needs when families require assistance.
Since its founding in 2008, C4K has been dedicated to leveling the playing field for all students.
The continued success of the C4K golf tournament demonstrates the strong support for helping students thrive within the UCDSB community.
This year, C4K has raised approximately $150,500 from various fundraising activities, with the charity's cumulative fundraising total now reaching an impressive $2,601,684. So far in 2024, the foundation has disbursed more than $133,000.
The 18th Annual C4K golf tournament will be held on Friday, July 4, 2025 at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club.
