Lost Friends and the Love of Sport

“I’ve been an avid sportsman my entire life — with a special place in my heart for the game of golf. For the better part of two decades, it has been my honour to dedicate my time, money and effort toward charity golf tournaments big and small in support of worthy causes. The launch of the  Westbourne Charity Classic represents my commitment to doing my part to keep this flame of philanthropy alive.”

Sometimes we say farewell to friends and loved ones sooner than we expect. Having spent a great deal of time with one such friend during his battle with cancer, I saw firsthand how the staff at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre made his journey easier to bear. I witnessed the palliative care team doing their all to make his final months, weeks and days less frightening and more dignified. This is why, when we were planning our inaugural tournament, I had no hesitation in naming my beneficiary of choice.

An Enduring Legacy of Giving Back

“For nearly half a century, the Westbourne Charitable Foundation has served the most vulnerable of our society — from the youngest children enrolled in Westbourne Preschool up through those of us enjoying our second childhood in the Westbourn’e Place Seniors Residence. Our newly-established golf charity is a continuation of this enduring spirit of giving.”

“We selected Inn from the Cold and the Tom Baker Cancer Centre as our 2023 beneficiaries because they help folks who are navigating some of the toughest times of their lives. For those of you who have partnered with us to raise funds for these very worthy causes: thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m excited to embark on this new community-spirited venture, and I look forward to seeing everyone on game day.”
