Amazing Day at 2010 Community Living Mississauga Golf Classic
 Andrew Day, a last-minute replacement, shot a hole-in-one on his first shot of the day at Community Living Mississauga Golf Classic on August 31st. Day’s ace on the 171-yard 17th hole at Royal Ontario Golf and Country Club won him a 2010 Sebring Convertible from Laurie Williamson Motors.
“This is the 7th year we’ve held this tournament and people are always excited about all of the activities we include on the course” said tournament chair Greg Symons. “Having someone win a car at the tournament really added to the excitement of the day for all the golfers. There was a real buzz going around the course.”
Nearly 140 golfers participated in this year’s event, which raised $35,000 to help support unfunded summer camp which enabled children and teens who have an intellectual disability to actively participate in a variety of summer camp programs offered throughout Mississauga.
Volunteers from various Scotiabank branches across Mississauga were on hand to supervise contests and ensure the nearly 140 golfers and the people manning the various on-course activities had plenty of water to keep cool in the mid-30 degree temperatures.
“There are many great charity golf tournaments out there, so we always make sure that the Community Living Mississauga Golf Classic offers golfers a fun-filled day that will make them want to come back again year after year,” said Symons. “We make sure the golfers have a day they won’t soon forget, and this year’s hole-in-one will sure make this year’s event memorable.”
Founded in 1955, Community Living Mississauga is a non-profit, charitable organization which provides support to more than 1,600 individuals who have an intellectual disability and their families.
