The recent Chesapeake Landing Charity Golf Tournament raised over $1,500 for the Delta Hospital Foundation, bringing the total the event has raised for the hospital since 2007 to more than $6,000.

Golf tournament committee member John Eastman was proud of this year's event and pleased that so many local companies generously supported it. Supporters included: abc Country Restaurant, Bombay Joe's Restaurant, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Cove Links Golf Course, Delta Automotive, Jim Melidones (Golden Eagle Golf Club), Ladner Village Floral, Riverhouse Restaurant, Starbucks, Tsawwassen Collision and White Spot.

The Chesapeake Landing tournament, held by residents in the Marina Garden Estates subdivision, is just one of many independent special events that support Delta Hospital. Through lemonade stands, bottle drives, golf tournaments and other creative initiatives, individuals and community groups raise thousands of dollars to bring the newest technology and most up-to-date equipment to Delta Hospital.

The proceeds from this tournament will go to the Hospital's Greatest Needs Fund.
