Golf tournament raises over $115K for Children's Treatment Centre

The Children's Treatment Centre of Chatham-Kent is getting a major funding boost thanks to a recent golf tournament.

The Children's Treatment Centre Foundation of Chatham-Kent hosted its fifth annual Festival of Golf on September 10, raising a total of $115,000.

The money will be used for various programs at the Children's Treatment Centre including adapted recreation, music therapy and social work, all of which are not covered under core funding.

“We are grateful to the sponsors, golfers and volunteers who returned this year to support this great event," said foundation President Mike Genge.“Monies raised from Festival of Golf will go towards essential programming and services that our kids need and use every day.”

The Children's Treatment Centre wasn't the only winner of the day. Organizers handed out over a dozen door prizes, including a 2022 Kia Seltos, which went to a Chatham man.
