PEMBROKE: Last Friday, a sunny and warm day, 86 enthusiastic golfers set out to drive home the importance of giving back. The 12th Annual Warden’s Cup Invitational Golf Tournament was hosted again this year by County of Renfrew Warden Peter Emon at the Renfrew Golf Club in Horton Township. The best ball format shotgun start tournament saw teams from across the county and beyond turn out for 18 holes of golf, dinner, and prizes — all for a couple of local charities.
“I want to take an opportunity to thank each participant and every sponsor for their generosity and support with making the 12th Annual Tournament such a success,” said Peter Emon, Warden of Renfrew County. “The Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Renfrew County and the Deep River and Petawawa Inclusion Project are the real winners today. The charities havea huge impact on our residents. They need our support to assist our neighbours, our families and our future. Fundraising events like this tournament are a real testament to the giving nature of our residents.”
Later in the day during the presentations, Event Emcee Bruce Beakley, Director of Human Resources at the County of Renfrew, announced the winning team. The winning etawawa team hoisted the Warden’s Cup in victory in front of an applauding crowd in the clubhouse. Warden Emon presented the trophy and prizes to Mayor of the Town of Petawawa, Bob Sweet, along with Lou Le Brun, Pat Du Guay and Todd Bursey.
The Warden’s Invitational Golf Tournament has raised approximately $48,000 over the past 12 years for various charities within Renfrew County.
