Kelowna: The Kelowna Chamber helped raise more than $3,500 for good causes, and delivered a sunny day to 144 golfers, 24 sponsors, media sponsors plus hosted a fun awards banquet.

Dan Price, President of the Chamber welcomed golfers alongside tournament presenting sponsor Parke Pacific Projects. “It was another great day, another opportunity for Chamber members to unwind their swings and meet some new business connections. We’re very appreciative to Parke Pacific and all our sponsors this year.”

Title sponsor Parke Pacific Projects fundraised for the Agnes Parke Memorial Society, in aid of Parkinson’s Disease Research. Also benefiting from golfers’ support were the Kelowna Gospel Mission (50/50 draw) and UBC Okanagan Heat Golf Program.

“The Chamber and its members do so much in and for our community.  Their generosity helps support our UBCO Heat golf program, ignites the spirit of sportsmanship, nurtures talent, and helps foster the dreams of some of our highest calibre student-athletes,” said Tom Huisman, Director, Athletics and Recreation, UBC Okanagan
