Golfers participating in this year's Envision Financial Beach Grove Amateur Championship will support the important work of the Delta Hospice Society.
All proceeds from the annual tournament, set for Aug. 18 and 19 at one of the most scenic private clubs in the Lower Mainland, will support no-fee programs and counselling services for adults, children and teens in the community who are living with a serious illness or loss.
"Thank you to Envision Financial and Beach Grove Golf Club for directing this year's support to Delta Hospice," said Delta Hospice executive director Nancy Macey. "We feel very honoured to be the beneficiaries of this event and can ensure that these gifts are directed towards providing the highest quality of counselling and supportive care services to those people in our community touched by illness, loss and grief."
Delta Hospice operates the Harold and Veronica Savage Centre for Supportive Care, the Irene Thomas Hospice in Ladner and the Hospice Cottage Thrift Store in Tsawwassen.
"At Envision, we're committed to making a real difference in our local communities - it's a principle which our organization was founded on," said Courtney Roth, manager of Envision Financial's Tsawwassen branch.
"To date, our partnership with Beach Grove Golf Club has raised more than $70,000 for community partners. We are so proud to be sponsoring this event for a seventh consecutive year."
Past beneficiaries of the tournament include the Boys and Girls Clubs of South Coast B.C. and the Delta Hospital Foundation.
"At Beach Grove Golf Club, we are very honoured to team up with Envision Financial and provide assistance to a very worthy beneficiary in the Delta Hospice Society," said head pro Brent Derrheim. "The Delta Hospice touches a lot of families, we are very happy to be involved in the community and help out where we can."
