Bruce Power’s 15th annual Charity Golf Tournament raised $150,000 for local hospital foundations.

Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation and Kincardine Hospital Foundation will share the proceeds from the annual tournament, which was held August 12 at Saugeen Golf Club. The tournament has raised approximately $1.5 million for the hospital foundations over the last 15 years.

“Bruce Power thanks everyone who supports our Charity Golf Tournament because they are making an enormous contribution to the quality of life for all Bruce County residents,” said Kevin Kelly, Bruce Power’s Acting President and Chief Financial Officer. “The hospital foundations do such tremendous work and as a major employer in our region we feel a sense of responsibility to do everything we can to support them.”
Jonna Ebel, Chair of the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation, said the tournament plays a key part in ensuring her organization can meet its commitment to Grey Bruce Health Services – Southampton.

“The Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation is so very grateful for the support of the Bruce Power Charity Golf Tournament. This year, the overall need is $440,000 and we will be putting the funds raised from this year’s tournament towards the purchase of new IV Pumps, a total cost of $71,000.”

Kincardine's share will be put towards a $450,000 commitment to upgrade much needed Diagnostic Imaging equipment.
