Golf Tournament scores $21,000 for MRI

On Thursday, August 17, 2023, 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.  Through registration, sponsorship, live & online auctions and raffle, the event raised $31,000 in total for its charity partners: the GBGH Foundation, Georgian Bay Township Food Bank and Severn Township Food Bank. 

This year, the $21,000 raised for the GBGH Foundation will support Kickstart Your Heart, which is raising funds to bring an MRI to Georgian Bay General Hospital.
