The popular Chicks with Sticks charity golf tournament returns for its fourth year at Black Mountain Golf Club, with proceeds supporting youth mental health. Registration for the two-person, ladies team tournament in a Stableford format includes 18 holes of golf, a shared power cart, tee gift, and food for $150 per person. There will also be a chance to win prizes and an online silent auction will close that evening.
“COVID-19 is something that the entire golf community is taking seriously, especially with respect to the health and well-being of people, as well as its impact on events”, says Carla Lundman, the tournament’s organizer. “This year we’ll respect social distancing with staggered tee times, a virtual silent auction, food and drink stations on the course, and a gift certificate instead of dinner. We are so thankful for the support that businesses and individuals have shown once again this year through their generous donations.”
Held at the Black Mountain Golf Club, the event proceeds support Foundry Mobile, a wellness centre where young people can find hope, help and support, when they need it.
“Our Youth is our Future and our Future is now. We all have to do our part in supporting our youth who are struggling with mental health issues . The Foundry is creating a mobile unit so that all young people in the Kelowna area are able to access the resoures the centre provides. It’s a wonderful endeavour and will make a big difference in the lives of our youth,” says Serinda Swan star of CBC’s original drama series Coroner and this year’s celebrity supporter.
Registration for the Chicks with Stick charity golf tournament is available at the Black Mountain Golf Club website.
Charitable donations can be made online.
