Patriot Golf Day Canada Returns this September
Later this summer Patriot Golf Day Canada returns for a third consecutive year.
Kicking off the Tuesday after Labour Day and running through Sept.7th, the grassroots golf initiative once again supports and honours Canadian military members and their families
“This is a chance for the PGA of Canada and its members to make a positive difference in the lives of Canada military members and their families,” says Patriot Golf Day Honourary Chair, Don Saunders.
All money raised from the national initiative will be directed to Soldier On Canada through Patriot Golf Day Canada’s partner, the True Patriot Love Foundation.
Soldier On was founded in 2006 to empower retired and serving members of the Canadian Forces with an illness or injury (visible or non-visible) to accept their new normal by adopting an active lifestyle through participation in physical, recreational or sporting activities.
This reintroduction to an active lifestyle helps them to develop new skills, build confidence in their abilities and realize their full potential. Many ill and injured members credit Soldier On with helping them to overcome their challenges and open doors to other life opportunities.
The PGA of Canada recently participated in the 2014 Soldier On Canada National Golf Camps with Association members playing an integral part giving instruction to the nearly 20 Canadian Forces members who took part.
“The nice thing about Patriot Golf Day Canada is that there is no real hard model that needs to be followed—it’s totally up to the PGA of Canada professional who runs the event,” Saunders says. “It could be as easy as running a themed men’s night or something as simple as having a jar on the counter for donations.”
