The Beach Grove Golf Club is now accepting entries for the Envision Financial Men's Beach Grove Amateur Championship to benefit the South Delta Food Bank.
The tournament takes place Aug. 23 and 24.
"We feel very honoured to be the beneficiaries of the Envision Financial Men's Beach Grove Amateur Championship this year and want to thank Envision Financial and Beach Grove Golf Club for choosing to support the work of the South Delta Food Bank," said co-ordinator Joe Van Essen.
"We can ensure that 100 per cent of these gifts are directed towards the most urgent area of need for those individuals and families in our community touched by hunger and poverty."
The food bank serves 80 to 90 families with children every week in addition to seniors and local aboriginal people. Completely volunteer run, the food bank relies on the generosity of the community to support its mission.
"At Envision Financial, we're committed to making a meaningful difference in our local communities and supporting this tournament allows us to do just that," said Tsawwassen branch manager Courtney Roth.
Since 2006, the Envision Financial Men's Beach Grove Amateur Championship has raised nearly $86,500 for charitable initiatives in the community.
"This year, we are proud to support the South Delta Food Bank, which is a great fit with The Full Cupboard, our innovative program created to raise food, funds and awareness for local food banks," said Roth.
Tournament chair Jim Sarkissian said the golf club is excited to be associated with two first rate organizations: Envision Financial and the South Delta Food Bank.
The tournament provides an opportunity for amateur golfers to play at one of the foremost private golf courses in the Lower Mainland. For more information about taking part in the tournament, contact Brent Derrheim at 604-943-9381.
