Lucky number 10 for Prostate Cancer Centre BY BILL BROOKS SEPTEMBER 23, 2017 Save the best for last is an oft-used expression I am rather fond of. And this week, I ve done just that. As summer 2017 fades into memory (and what a summer it was!), here s a look at what is among the best golf tournaments out there: the annual Remington Golf Classic in support of the Calgary Prostate Cancer Centre (PCC). The 10th annual Remington Charity Golf Classic was a great success raising a cool $400K for Calgary's Prostate Cancer Centre.

Since inception, the tournament has raised $3 million for the centre a godsend as it relies solely on donor dollars and receives no government funding. In 2016, 4,688 men accessed the centre s programs and services, and the numbers are only going up. The 10th annual tournament, held last month at Stewart Creek Golf and Country Club in Canmore, raised an impressive $400,000. Kudos to all involved and take
a well-deserved bow volunteer committee directors: Ryan Remington, Justin Mayershak, Cody Clayton, Darwin Flathers, Carl Cheverie, Gary Holbrook, Alex Wong, Dave Rutledge and, of course, the two Randys. Glorious weather, lots of laughs and terrific live and silent auction items ensured a memorable day on the links for all. Judy Wong, wife of tournament director Alex Wong, was the lucky raffle winner of a five-star Hawaiian vacation worth $12K. One of the more coveted live auction items, a 24-month lease on a 2017 Ford F150 XLT Crew Cab, garnered $14K while Club Seats to a San Francisco 49er s football game (including airfare) topped $9K. Other supporters this day included: auctioneer extraordinarie Danny Hooper, who garnered top dollar for the live auction items; CBRE s Stuart Watson and John Fisher; Greg Hooper; Andrew Dixon (kudos on the longest drive Andrew); the winning team of Rollie Cyr and Hanif Manji; Lafarge s Bob Spence; Morrison Homes Dave Gladney; Westcreek Developments Bravin Goldade; Ronmor Holdings Bob Parsons; Oakmont Consulting s Gerry Edwards; Dr. Eric Hyndman; Kristen Walker; Mike Bader; Neil Ferris; Paul Marsden; Kevin Watson; Matt Binfit; Glen Simpson; Aly Lalani; Rob Blackwell; Shane Homes Cal and Shane Wenzel; PCC executive director Pam Heard; Cushman Wakefield s Alex Brough; JLL s Marshall Toner; Krita Investments Ike Kolias; and Englehart Reed s Paige Magnussen.
