The community came together at Oak Bay Golf Club for the SEGBAY Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament, in partnership with Pure Country 106 and BOUNCE 104.1 in August.

Through registration, sponsorship, live & online auctions and raffle, the event raised $31,000 in total for its charity partners: GBGH Foundation and the Georgian Bay Cancer Support Centre.

This year, the $26,606 raised for the GBGH Foundation will support Kickstart Your Heart, which is raising funds to grow the surgical services program at Georgian Bay General Hospital (GBGH).
