Entegrus proudly hosted the 11th annual Electricity Distributors Association (EDA) Western District’s Charity Golf Tournament at Caradoc Sands Golf Club on September 10th, raising $80,000 to support the building of a hospice in Strathroy.
The Power of Golf Fore Charity tournament, an annual event where electrical utilities and industry partners come together, focuses on raising funds for worthy local causes. This year, proceeds will help bring the dream of a hospice for the Strathroy community closer to reality.
“We have been working tirelessly to establish a resource that will allow residents of Strathroy to remain close to their loved ones in their final days. The support from this tournament means the world to the community of Strathroy and will make a huge difference,” said Tyler Damen, Chair of Strathroy Hospice.
Title sponsors for this year’s event included Entegrus and TD Canada Trust, with many more sponsors contributing to the event’s success. A full list of sponsors can be found at: Entegrus.com/EDAgolf2024
